##(Verse 1) I've watched my dreams all fade away, and blister in the sun; Everything I've ever had's u nraveled and undone. I've set upon a worthless stack, of my am bitious plans And the people that I've lov ed the most, have turned their backs and ran. ##(Verse 2) Loneliness has left me searching for som eone to love. Poverty has changed my view of what true riches are. Sorrow's opened up my eyes, To see what r eal joy is. Pain has been the catalyst to my heart's happiness. ##(Chorus 1) This is the good life, I've lost everything I could ever want, and ever dream of . This is the good life, I found e verything I could ever need, her e in Your arms .
