Mraz, Jason - Who I Am Today Lyrics






I thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was 17
I thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean
I thank the bullies for body slams and accidents and then some
They shaped my life; they made me like who I've become

I thank the girls who gave a hand and showed me how to dance
I thank the ones who passed who never gave a second glance
I learned that it's okay for some to go and some to stay
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today

And I'm so grateful to be here with ya
Yes, I'm so stoked to be in ARKANSAS!

I thank the captains of the boats who brave the sea
I thank the farmers for the sowing of the seeds
I thank the men who paved the roads I'm traveling on
They shaped my life, they took me down the path I've gone

I thank the volunteers for giving up their time for free
I thank the engineers; all those who keep our water clean
I thank the janitors for all their years behind the scenes
They shaped my life they taught me generosity
They shaped my life they let me see who I could be

I'm so grateful to be here tonight
Yes I. Yes I....

Thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was 17
I thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean
I thank the bullies for all the names they called along the way
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today
They shaped my life; they made me love who I am today

You shape my life. You make me love who I am today.

  34. Q.... S....

    Guys, how do i find this music to low? Does not exist in 4shared. Do you know of another site?

  35. N.... ....

    amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing !!!!!!

  36. M.... M....

    I want to thank you, Jason Mraz, for keeping me positive. Your music and you as a person has helped me to see the good things in the world over the terrible. You helped shape who I am today.

  37. C.... H....

    And in this version i think hes sings "their scraps" and not "the scraps" as i replied.

  38. C.... H....

    Love the drawings! One tiny bit of critisism..I think there is a mistake in the lyrics. You wrote at 0:25 "for body slams and accidents" I believe he sings "for all the scraps and accidents" I realy don't hear "body slams" in it.. Didn't know wat scraps meant, so i translated it, but it makes sense i think.

  39. N.... H....

    this song is a good example for his optimistic world view, because "we have to take a bad situation to realize how good something is" :) love Jason Mraz!

  40. x.... ....

    anyone knows a studio version of this ?

  41. x.... ....

    i cant find a version of this with no screaming
