I've got a warm place to sleep
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep
I've got a heart that can hold love
I've got a mind that can think
There may be times when I lose the light
And let my spirits sink
But I can't stay depressed
When I remeber how I'm blessed
Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
In a city of strangers
I've got a family of friends
No matter what rocks and brambles fill the way
I know that they will stay until the end
I feel a hand holding my hand
It's not a hand you can see
But on the road to the promised land
This hand will shepherd me
Through delight and despair
Holding tight and always there
Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
It's not that I don't want a lot
Or hope for more, or dream of more
But giving thanks for what I've got
Makes me so much happier than keeping score
In a world that can bring pain
I will still take each chance
For I believe that whatever the terrain
Our feet can learn to dance
Whatever stone life may sling
We can moan or we can sing
Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
I've got a roof over my head I've got a warm place to sleep Some nights I lie awake counting gifts Instead of counting sheep I've got a heart that can hold love I've got a mind that can think There may be times when I lose the light And let my spirits sink But I can't stay depressed When I remeber how I'm blessed Grateful, grateful Truly grateful I am Grateful, grateful Truly blessed And duly grateful In a city of strangers I've got a family of friends No matter what rocks and brambles fill the way I know that they will stay until the end I feel a hand holding my hand It's not a hand you can see But on the road to the promised land This hand will shepherd me Through delight and despair Holding tight and always there Grateful, grateful Truly grateful I am Grateful, grateful Truly blessed And duly grateful It's not that I don't want a lot Or hope for more, or dream of more But giving thanks for what I've got Makes me so much happier than keeping score In a world that can bring pain I will still take each chance For I believe that whatever the terrain Our feet can learn to dance Whatever stone life may sling We can moan or we can sing Grateful, grateful Truly grateful I am Grateful, grateful Truly blessed And duly grateful Explain Request ×
