Be Grateful
The other day I called myself complaining
Now my boss has got me working over time
Then the stranger who was sitting there beside me
Said, I spent all day in the unemployment
Are there open shifts, are they hiring on
I'll work any hours even all night long
If you could put a good word in for me
Everytime you think you got it bad
You can find someone who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted now
They started out as blessings first
If you got someone who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able
Man, be grateful
We complain about how much it's gonna cost us
To feel our 20 something thousand dollars cars
And living in the land of milk and honey
It's so easy to forget how lucky we are
We can work hard and buy a patch of dirt
And on sunday morning we can go to church
And pray for those who don't have it as good as you
Everytime you think you got it bad
You can find someone who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted now
They started out as blessings first
If you got someone who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able
Man, be grateful
Yeah I'm grateful
Oh man, be graaaaaaateefuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
Now my boss has got me working over time
Then the stranger who was sitting there beside me

Are there open shifts, are they hiring on

Everytime you think you got it bad
You can find someone who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted now
They started out as blessings first
If you got someone who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able

Everytime you think you got it bad
You can find someone who's got it worse
All the things you take for granted now

If you got someone who loves you
And a steady job that puts food on the table
If you're strong and able
Man, be grateful
Yeah I'm grateful
Oh man, be graaaaaaateefuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
