Growing up scared of the number on top of my birthday cake
Never had a clue for the mystery to what kind of man I'd make
But now the sun is sinking lower
That's when I realize

Nothing can compare to what I have now
This open mind has never felt so free
This life is a very special thing
Don't you agree?

Stuck in that place in the back of my head always wondering why
I didn't know how I could open up and just give it a try

As the nights are getting colder
That's when I realize

Nothing can compare to what I have now
This open mind has never felt so free
I'm standing in these shoes because I want to
There is nowhere else I'd rather be
And this life is a very special thing
Don't you agree?

In my heart I know nothing is certain
But that just doesn't matter to me
Because certainly

Nothing can compare to what I have now
This open mind has never felt so free
I'm standing in these shoes because I want to
There is nowhere else I'd rather be
Nothing can compare to what I have now
These open eyes have never seen so clear
And this life is a very special thing
Oh, this life is a very special thing
Don't you agree?
