A song about Matt
He's a cool kind of kid
Maybe he will change the world
When he gets big

Right now it's video games, EFL
Did I say he's good at darts
But much much better than that
He's got a real big heart

We all got some tough challenges in front of us
We're gonna overcome all that stuff and we'll thrive
It's good to be alive

We call him Chubby
Well he grew up so fast
And with his Labrador Retriever
I believe their friendship will last

The dog MT Matt called him after
Donkey Kong
He was too young to say it
So the dog is called Monkey Tom

We all got some tough challenges in front of us
We're gonna get through it and survive
It's good to be alive
To be alive

Come on now, don't let it faze ya
Wonder of the north is gonna amaze ya
Come on now, don't let it faze ya
Wonder of the north is gonna amaze ya

It's good to be alive
