Atlantic Starr - Thankful lyrics

This song is just a simple little message
There's no heavy thing
It's just a mere reminder for those of us who
Sometimes forget just how good we are

Life is something we pretend
To take for granted
We've got it so good that
We're hard to satisfy it would be so nice if
We leaned towards appreciation
It's not hard if just we try
You should tell the child that
Only has bread and butter
That some folks have no bread at all
And the man that has no fortune
But has his health and someone to love
He should stand just as tall

That's why I'm thankful for every
Morning that I rise
I'm thankful whether God sends
Rain or blue skies
I'm thankful 'cause, I can clearly see
His love for you and me, hey

Looking back through the years when
I was very young
I used to dream of becoming a star
Even though I was anxious
I was patient because I knew
In time I would go far, ooh
There were many obstacles that were in my way
I could have done bad things
And been locked away
But with love and attention from my family
Success is here to stay

I'm thankful for every morning that I rise
I'm thankful whether God sends
Rain or blue skies
Whoa oh, I'm thankful 'cause
I can clearly see his love for you and me

If we only stop to count our blessings
We'll find that there will be
No time to complain
For what we don't have, let's stop protesting
'Cause the most important things in
Life we can always gain

That's why I'm thankful thankful
Thankful his love

I'm thankful for every morning that I rise
I'm thankful whether God sends
Rain or blue skies
I'm thankful 'cause, I can clearly see
His love for you and me

Thankful, thankful oh, I'm thankful, oh
Thankful ooh, yeah, 'cause, I can really see
His love
