Lyrics:
This house is now a litany
Things I thought I'd never be
A man who has opinions on an ottoman among other things
I used to think I'd miss the road
The crushing fame and sold out shows
I just sing head, shoulders, knees and toes
Like I'd forgotten 'em
But I'm alive and
Baby, I'm thriving
Oh yeah
I'm living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
I've been getting my steps in
And I sleep with my best friend
It's the best that it has been in a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)
Sometimes it sucks to tell the truth
And I took it hard like people do
But I'm learning how to eat the fruit that is in season
Never thought I'd be a grown ass man
But you know what they say of best laid plans
Now I'm holding on to my daughter's hand
I've got a reason
To be alive and
Oh yeah
Baby, I'm thriving
Yeah, yeah
I'm living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
But I've been getting my steps in
And I sleep with my best friend
It's the best that it has been in a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)
Come on
I'm living my best life
The best that I can
No more worry or stress life
'Cause I'm done with them
I'm as light as can be
I'm as fresh as a breeze
Right where I wanna be so
If you need to find me
I'll be living my best life
Waking up with the sunrise
Looking at things like what the actual hell
But I've been counting my blessings
And I sleep with my bestfriend
It's the best that it has been for a long time
It's the best that it had been for a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, yeah, living my best life, ooh (living my best life)
I've been living my, living my, living my best life, ooh (living my best life)
(Living my best life, ooh)

    A fantastic message. My personal application here is that we have the potential to live our best life in whatever stage we are at. Sometimes we think this moment is the best stage but it gets better. Sometimes we are waiting and working for that "one day" when it will get better. For me, even with the daily routines and things we are doing to move each day along with our family and kids, the busy busy, the craziness, the daily efforts we are making, that right there...is my best life. I once heard a great man say something to the effect of "when you have children, that's when real life starts";). Thank you, Ben!

It was crazy I have never heard of him but. I look up the whole song and listen to it and I thought to my self maybe my life isn't so bad. So I got to keep getting my steps in. And keep waking up next to my friend. This song helped me out in a major way. It's real out here. Check on your people. Because the universe just checked on me.
