Acknowledge Lyrics

i am alive i am here i am now i acknowlege the fact of my life i am alive breathing walking and smiling acknowledge the fact of lmy life there's a big big world out there thime that i stepped in 'cause i'm getting tired of pretending that i don't really give a shit there was guilt and shame there was fear and hate but now it's finally time to appreciate the perfection of all life all the times and places and time i'd waste i learned the hard way and ever since when i look forward or back i just gotta laugh 'cause it hit like a ton of bricks i laid down on the ground and i looked around and i saw a miracle i appreciate the simple beauty of the world it came to me like a bullet to the heart but it was there in front of me all along so obvious the only meaning of life is life itself i'm not controlled by anybody else i must get out of my way get out of my own way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
