[Chorus:]
Be grateful.
Be grateful.
[Verse 1:]
God has not promised me sunshine,
That's not the way it's going to be;
But a little rain mixed with God's sunshine,
A little pain makes me appreciate the good times.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
God desires to fill your longings,
Every pain that you feel,
He feels them, just like you;
But He can't afford to let you feel only good,
(then you can't appreciate the good times).
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes).
[Vamp:]
Be grateful, be grateful.
[repeat as desired]
For it will be alright...
[Vamp 2:]
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright
[Ending:]
For it will be al...
Be grateful.
