Thankyous |
| Mama gave me soul |
| Brother gave me reaching out to hold |
| Teachers gave me license |
| Learning set me free |
| Schooling gave me nothing |
| Music showed me how to live |
| Papa gave me want-to-be |
| Brother gave me empathy |
| Mama gave me woman |
| But that isn’t all I need |
| I have lived in houses |
| I have lived in homes |
| Eaten off of tables made of wood or stone |
| Through the trials and tribulations |
| I’ve never known |
| How to say I love you |
| And let my feelings show |
| So thank you for the music |
| Thank you for the songs |
| Bless you for the freedom |
| In knowing right from wrong |
| I thank you for the laughter |
| The heartaches and the tears |
| It’s a blessing to grow |
| It’s a goodness to be here |
| You give me want-to-be |
| You give me sympathy |
| You give me woman |
| Thank you for loving me |
| And letting it show |
| It’s a pleasure to be here |
| So bless us, every one |
