The Luckiest Man Alive
(Kyle Thompson)
Kyle Thompson (unreleased)
I wrote this song shortly after being diagnosed with ALS. It is about Lou Gehrig's famous farewell speech at Yankee stadium, where I recorded the vocal track for the song on the anniversary of Lou's death. I hope to release the song on my next CD...
Lou's courage and toughness inspire me everyday to fight on!
The Luckiest Man Alive
*A Tribute To Lou Gehrig*
DOWN THE TUNNEL, TO THE FIELD OF LIGHT
THIS AIN’T NO GAME TODAY THIS IS MY LIFE
TO BE CUT DOWN IN MY PRIME
WAY BEFORE MY TIME
STILL I FEEL THAT I’M, THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE
WELL I GUESS THAT I’VE BEEN DELT A FEW HARD BREAKS
SEEMS THAT EVERYTHING THE GOOD LORD GIVES HE TAKES
AND IT’S TRUE…IT AIN’T NO LIE
I’VE BEEN TOLD IT’S TIME TO DIE
STILL I FEEL THAT I’M, THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COME TO SAY GOODBYE
DON’T YOU MIND AS I HANG MY HEAD AND CRY…
BECAUSE AS I STAND HERE TODAY
I HAVE BUT ONE THING TO SAY…
TODAY I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE
DOWN THE TUNNEL, TO THE FIELD OF LIGHT
TODAY I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE
