Today we are going to learn verses 3 and 4 of ‘I Love my life’. Here are the lyrics;

I am not my mistakes
And God knows I’ve made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you

I cannot promise there won’t be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you’ll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it’s true.
