Thankful (feat. Michael McDonald)

Someone's standing in a welfare line Or off the freeway with a hungry sign Someone's stressing 'bout to lose their mind I gotta be thankful, thankful Someone just became a single mother Someone just lost a sister or brother It's so important that we love each other And be thankful, thankful I've gotta take the time to say That I'm thankful, thankful For every single breath that I take I've gotta be thankful, thankful Someone's sitting in a prison cell Wasting away in their own personal hell Everybody's got their own story to tell I've gotta be thankful, thankful Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot Now I realize just how much I've got Now every day I'm gonna take the time And stop to be thankful, thankful Gotta take the time to say now That I'm wanna be thankful, thankful For every little breath that I take I've gotta be thankful, thankful Anyone of these so easily Could have been me And if it had not been for grace and mercy Who knows where I'd be? I've been riding on this roller coaster ride Round and round I've seen the up and downside And I'm here to tell you that the secret of life Is being thankful, thankful I've gotta take the time to say I'm so very thankful, thankful For every little breath that I take Lord you know I'm thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful, thankful
