Grateful To Be Somebody

I'd like to say Thanks to all my fans A single thank to all the haters I'm thankful for my two hands That become piano players I'm thankful for my voice That they're not gonna take away from me And I'm thankful for the choice to be - to be Somebody I'd like to thank all my friends A single thank to a bully Learning right from wrong Perfection from impurity I'm thankful for opportunity To express originality And I'm thankful for choice to be - to be Somebody And today I am grateful 'Cuz I would not know which road to take For goodness sake Which choice to make Every time I'm awake Every time I'm awake And I would not know How to get along Where I'd belong How to write a song Or how to stand strong - how to stand strong I'd like to say Thanks to the believers For not standing idly by Inspiring this achiever To spread my wings and fly And for all goals that I've reached So efficaciously And I'm thankful for the choice to be - to be somebody And today I am grateful 'Cuz I would not know which road to take For goodness sake Which choice to make Every time I'm awake Every time I'm awake And I would not know How to get along Where I'd belong How to write a song Or how to stand strong- how to stand strong I'm thankful for a home Thankful for what lies ahead I'm thankful to live With a roof over my head The common conceptions That make us forget who we really are Don't turn down your dreams Say thanks and know who you are And today I will be grateful 'Cuz I would not know which road to take For goodness sake Which choice to make Every time I'm awake Every time I'm awake And I would not know How to get along Where I'd belong How to write a song Or how to stand strong- how to stand strong
