| This song is just a simple little message
|
| It’s no heavy thing
|
| It’s just a mere reminder for those of us who
|
| Sometimes forget just how good we have it
|
| Life is something we tend 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 anxious, I was patient because of You
|
| In time I would go far
|
| There were many obstacles that were in my way
|
| I could have done bad things and been locked away
|
| But with love and attention from my family
|
| Success is here to stay
|
| 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
|
| For 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 |
