Thankful

Jonny Lang


Someones standing in a welfare line 
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign 
Someones stressing bout to lose their mind 
I gotta be thankful, thankful 

Someone just became a single mother 
Someone just lost a sister or brother 
Its so important that we love each other 
And be 

Thankful, thankful 
Ive gotta take the time to say, that Im 
Thankful, thankful 
For every single breath that I take 
Ive gotta be thankful, thankful 

Someones sitting in a prison cell 
Wasting away in their own personal hell 
Everybodys got their own story to tell 
Ive gotta be thankful, thankful 

Man, I used to think I didnt have a lot 
Now I realize just how much Ive got 
Now every day Im gonna take the time and stop to be 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Any one of these so easily could have been me 
But if it had not been for grace and mercy who knows where Id be 

Ive been riding on this roller coaster ride 
Round and round Ive seen the up and downside 
And Im here to tell you that the secret of life is being 

REPEAT CHORUS
