Thankful - Atlantic Starr

This song is just a simple little message

It’s no heavy thing

It’s just a mere reminder for those of us who

Sometimes forget just how good we have it

Life is something we tend to take for granted

We’ve gotta it so good that we’re hard to satisfy

It would be so nice if we lead 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

That hasn’t still found 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 sky

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 of You

In time I would go far

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 sky

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, that’s not the best thing

'Cause the most important things in life we can always gain

That’s why I’m thankful

Thankful, thankful

His love

That’s why I’m thankful for every morning that I rise

I’m thankful whether God sends rain or blue sky

I’m thankful 'cause I can clearly see

His love for you and me

Thankful, thankful

I’m thankful

Thankful 'cause I can really see

His love
