| I wanna thank you world for lettin' me belong
|
| I’m just one fourth of one small group that sings your songs
|
| I know that there are others who have served in bigger ways
|
| All I can do is sing your music all my days
|
| It makes me grateful just to know to know that I can be
|
| Unique and fill a spot beside the other three
|
| Without a place here in this world I know that I’d be lost
|
| Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause
|
| I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood
|
| But standing on that stage to me is just as good
|
| And I may never be a heavy or a great
|
| But you’ve given me the strenght the strenght to pull me weight
|
| Oh for the part I sing is truly part of me
|
| And it does its part to lock the other parts in key
|
| And it does its part to pull to pull that sweet applause
|
| So thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause
|
| Oh world you’ve given me a place that I call mine
|
| Though I’ve stepped out of it and I’ve gotten out of line
|
| Sometimes I sing your music slightly out of key
|
| And I know I make it harder for the other three
|
| Oh I’ve always done my part the very best I could
|
| And it’s done with other guys oh world you could
|
| You’ve let me sing your praises world and harp about your faults
|
| I thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause
|
| It makes me grateful just to know…
|
| Without a place here in this world…
|
| Thank you world for lettin' me contribute to the cause |
