Doing Well

Once I was a dreamer
Once I was a drone
Once I thought I could do this on my own
Now there's a secret that I never keep
And a truth I never tell
But I'm living like I mean it
And I think I'm doing well

Because I've had a fire in my lungs
I've had my back against the wall
I've had reasons for having no reason at all
Now I light cigarettes out in the wind
Just to remember the smell
It's been ten years now since I blew it out
And I think I'm doing well

There were times I should have held on
Times I should have let it go
But there were more times that I really didn't know
Now there's so much that I can't buy
But there's more that I won't sell
Because my heart has found a hand to hold
And I think I'm doing well

And I've lost count of the people I've lost
And the ones that I have found
But learned that it's love
That makes this mad place go around
It's in the faces of my little boys
It's in the eyes of my little girl
And if we've only got each other
Then I think we're doing well
