Thankful Lyrics - Jonny Lang

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
