Intro:
Thank God I'm Carried By The Current
L.V
Hook:
Appreciate your blessings and you'll be blessed more
I've come to understand that life is not a
Chore to be completed but a time to enjoy
And gratitude's the habit that we have to employ
I keep all my attention on the gifts I've received
And celebrate the moments when I know that I am
Free to be with friends and family on such a good day
Appreciate the little things in a big way
Verse1:
See clarity comes, when life collapses and you lose somebody you love
In an instant it is different, can't be shaken with a shrug
And you realize the true value of a hug from a loved one
Have some fun, keep a grin, cause when it's all said and done
Life is over before we even begin, a flash in the Pan
So I stay up like Peter and, I will Never Land
I'm bound to be the man if I use my hands, to grab a hold of everything that God has planned
For who I am, I cannot take for granted all the wishes I've been granted
Stay solid in my attitude, my gratitude's in granite
I'm, definitely grateful for my bro, he saw my potential, planted a seed of belief and let me go
He's my Miracle Grow, Mom and Dad are my rays of sunlight
Always let your love show, they gotta leave you some time

Verse 2:
I remember back in sixth grade
Mrs. Weaver was my teacher and for five minutes every day
I had to illustrate, take my pen and paint a picture using a linguistic mixture
An elixer, of confidence, I unknowingly consumed
And she somehow got through to me using language as a tool
She handed me the keys to a kingdom that I could rule
Over as the poet that knows what he's supposed to do
Now I'm re a**umed my throne and my first as king
Is to thank all those who've helped me, to master what is “Me”
Mom especially you've always seen the best of me
And if ever I'm stressed I can confess my stress and rest with thee
I'm, too privileged to not respond
One second I'm here then the next I'm gone
Just another pebble in the pond
I'd rather be a boulder, make waves of change when I splash
I'm only getting older, so I cling to the things that last

Bridge:
I've had times when I felt stuck, I just wanted to get more, do more and have more
I was blind to the abundance that was all around me
But I was humbled to learn that to receive more I needed to be more
That until I decided to be grateful for what I already had, I didn't deserve more
So that's the key. Stay grateful. Yea

It's a time to enjoy
And gratitude is the key
You gotta celebrate the moments when you know that you are free
And focus your attention on the gifts you've received
Appreciate
Yea you gotta, Appreciate
Yea you gotta, you gotta celebrate
Every good day
Appreciate the little things, in a big way
