Thankful

We´ve gotta be thankful for each day,

for all the good and bad that´ll pass along our way.

Just think about it and hear me when I say,

we´ve gotta be thankful for each day..

   

We´ve gotta be careful about me and you,

we´ve gotta be careful no matter what we do.

cause love and respect will help us through,

we´ve gotta be careful ´bout me and you..

   

We´ve gotta have faith and trust in that we´ll learn,

it can be the difference that makes the tides turn.

The answer to all questions lies within your own heart that yearns,

we´ve just gotta have faith and trust in that we´ll learn..

   

We´ve gotta be strong in times when we feel weak,

scream out loud when we´re afraid to speak.

Believe in yourself that´s all you really need,

we´ve gotta be strong in times when we feel weak..

   

We´ve gotta be thankful for each day,

for all the good and bad that´ll pass along our way.

Just think about it and hear me when I say,

we´ve gotta be thankful for each day..

So easily and so fast anything can be lost!! Each day can be a blessing and whatever comes out of that that day we've learned something(hopefully).. After this I try to be thankful for each brand new day that I get to experience, it's not easy to remember this feeling but I try.."
