This song is just a simple little message
|
There's no heavy thing
|
It's just a mere reminder for those of us who
|
Sometimes forget just how good we are
|
|
Life is something we pretend to take for granted
|
We've gotta it so good that we're hard to satisfy
|
It would be so nice if we lead towards appreciation
|
It's not hard if just we try
|
|
You should tell the child that only has bread and butter
|
That some folks have no bread at all
|
And the man that has no fortune
|
That hasn't still found someone to love
|
He should stand just as tall
|
|
That's why I'm thankful for every morning that I rise
|
I'm thankful whether God sends rain or blue sky
|
I'm thankful 'cause I can clearly see
|
His love for you and me
|
|
Hey, looking back through the years when I was very young
|
I used to dream of becoming a star
|
Even though I was [?], I was patient because of You
|
In time I would grow fine
|
|
There were many obstacles that were in my way
|
I could have done bad things and been locked away
|
But with lot of attention from my family
|
Success is seen this day
|
|
I'm thankful for every morning that I rise
|
I'm thankful whether God sends rain or blue sky
|
I'm thankful 'cause I can clearly see
|
His love for you and me
|
|
If we only stop to count our blessings
|
We'll find that there will be no time to complain
|
Oh, what we don't have, that's not the best thing
|
'Cause the most important things in life we can always gain
|
|
That's why I'm thankful
|
Thankful, thankful
|
His love
|
|
That's why I'm thankful for every morning that I rise
|
I'm thankful whether God sends rain or blue sky
|
I'm thankful 'cause I can clearly see
|
His love for you and me
|
|
Thankful, thankful
|
I'm thankful
|
Thankful 'cause I can really see
|
His love
|
