Jonny Lang - Thankful lyrics

Someone's standing in a welfare line Or off the freeway with a hungry sign Someone's stressing bout to lose their mind I gotta be thankful, thankful Someone just became a single mother Someone just lost a sister or brother Its so important that we love each other And be Thankful, thankful Ive gotta take the time to say, that I'm Thankful, thankful For every single breath that I take Ive gotta be thankful, thankful Someones sitting in a prison cell Wasting away in their own personal hell Everybody's got their own story to tell I've gotta be thankful, thankful Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot Now I realize just how much Ive got Now every day I'm gonna take the time and stop to be REPEAT CHORUS Any one of these so easily could have been me But if it had not been for grace and mercy who knows where Id be Ive been riding on this roller coaster ride Round and round Ive seen the up and downside And Im here to tell you that the secret of life is being REPEAT CHORUS
