Lyrics

Be Thankful
You could have been a man on the corner begging for a dollar
You could have been a child world over dying from hunger
You could have been a brother in a comma or hit with terminal cancer
You could have been a sister who sells her body for supper
You’ve got a roof over your head
Food to eat a warm bed
Shoots on your feet clothes on your back
Thank God for that

Be thankful for what you’ve got
for somebody else got it worst than that
Be thankfull for what you got
Somebody else got it worst than that
Be thankful for what you got

You could have the world of money and living in misery
Or in the penetentary facing death penalty and not guilty
You could have been a mute aquadraplegic
Or severly mentaly sick
A drug addict,alcoholic in ruins can’t even quit
You’ve blessings all around you
Got your wits about you
You can laugh you can smile
Call someone your child thank god for that

You could have been that lady on the street
Scunting for food to eat
You could have been the mother
Who had to sleep on cold ground bare feet
You could have been that father on death’s bed
Feeling he is better off dead
You could have been blind or out of your mind
Or facing pure hard times
You are in good health and strength
You living decent
Peace in your heart
You can walk you can talk
Thank god for that



It is so amazing hearing the variety with such authenticity”
