Someones standing in a welfare line
|
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign
|
Someones stressing bout to lose their mind
|
I gotta be thankful, thankful
|
|
Someone just became a single mother
|
Someone just lost a sister or brother
|
Its so important that we love each other
|
And be
|
|
Thankful, thankful
|
Ive gotta take the time to say, that Im
|
Thankful, thankful
|
For every single breath that I take
|
Ive gotta be thankful, thankful
|
|
Someones sitting in a prison cell
|
Wasting away in their own personal hell
|
Everybodys got their own story to tell
|
Ive gotta be thankful, thankful
|
|
Man, I used to think I didnt have a lot
|
Now I realize just how much Ive got
|
Now every day Im gonna take the time and stop to be
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Any one of these so easily could have been me
|
But if it had not been for grace and mercy who knows where Id be
|
|
Ive been riding on this roller coaster ride
|
Round and round Ive seen the up and downside
|
And Im here to tell you that the secret of life is being
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|

Thankful
