Gratitude

I'm so grateful

I'm so grateful

I thank the boys who kicked

My ass when I was seventeen

I thank the ones who chose to laugh

And those who acted mean

I thank the bullies for all their scraps

And accidents and then some

They shaped my life

They made me like who I've become

They shaped my life

They made me love who I am

I thank the girls who gave their hand

And showed me how to dance

And I thank the ones who turned me down

And never gave me a second chance

I learned that it's okay for hearts to go on their own way

They shaped my life

They made me like who I am today

They shaped my life

They made me love who I am

That's right

That's right

Now I've got gratitude

Yes, I do

Gratitude

I've got gratitude

Yes, I do

Gratitude

I thank the captains of the boats

Who braved the seas (thank you, thank you)

And I thank the farmers

For the sowing of those seeds (thank you)

And I thank the men

Who paved the roads I'm traveling on (thank you)

They shaped my life

They took me down the paths I've gone

I thank the volunteers

For giving up their time for free (thank you)

I thank the engineers

All those who keep our water clean (thank you)

I thank the janitors for all their years

Behind the scenes (thank you)

They shaped my life

They taught me generosity (yeah)

They shaped my life

They helped me see who I could be

Now I've got gratitude

Yes, I do

Gratitude

I've got gratitude

Yes, I do

Gratitude

So grateful

Let me tell you what I'm grateful for

I am grateful for deep breaths

I'm grateful for my health (grateful, grateful)

I know tomorrow is uncertain

And I know time is our greatest wealth

I am grateful for my teachers (teachers)

And there's many of 'em

They taught me how to follow my heart

They taught me that all of the world is a stage

(All of the world is a stage!)

They taught me life imitates art

I am grateful for my parents (grateful, grateful)

And I'm grateful they divorced (grateful, grateful)

When they divided they multiplied

And two parents became four (grateful, grateful!)

And I am grateful for my fur friends (grateful, grateful)

The ones that follow me around

Singing "meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow"

They remind me to slow down (slow down)

To kneel and kiss the ground (thank you, thank you)

I am grateful for music (music!)

It helps me feel understood (thank you, thank you)

And I'm grateful to gratitude itself (thank you)

It helps me look for the good (thank you)

Look for the good (thank you, thank you)

I look for the good (thank you, thank you)

Look for the good
