[Verse 1] I came from ash and dust With empty hands No crown, no bread, no plan Just a name in the mud I learned to bow to storms And stand back up The wound became my school The night became my cup [Pre-Chorus] They took what I could give They left their teeth marks deep Still I kept my pulse alive Still I kept what I could keep [Chorus] I appreciate it all I appreciate it all The scars, the gold, the fall I appreciate it all I appreciate it all I appreciate it all What broke me made me strong I appreciate it all [Verse 2] I drank from bitter cups In smoky halls Heard kin turn into knives And heard my own heart call I lost a friend to spite A love to greed But even in the wreck I found what I would need [Pre-Chorus] Every blade that touched my back Left truth in silver lines Every door that shut on me Opened up my mind [Chorus] I appreciate it all I appreciate it all The scars, the gold, the fall I appreciate it all I appreciate it all I appreciate it all What broke me made me strong I appreciate it all [Bridge] So pour the dark ale high For every storm I wore For every time I bled And still came back for more I bless the hands that hurt I bless the ones who stayed From nothing to the feast I learned the price was paid [Final Chorus] I appreciate it all I appreciate it all The scars, the gold, the fall I appreciate it all I appreciate it all I appreciate it all I lived through all of that I appreciate it all
