Give Thanks

Opening scene of the day
When the light pours in like water
And we say goodbye to midnight's door
It's begun again and it's always new
There's someone again
And it's always you
It's good to be back, we can agree on that
The curtains shield the glow like the Freon cap
The first sip of something is quite a treat
Quite a chord, quite a beat
Out on the street, the worlds still there
Workers, beggars, billionaires
It's most clearly viewed as a grand production
An eternal play without introduction
They want to stop acting and talk to strangers
But the director of the play had them fearing dangers
And told them they had friends on television
Who wouldn't ask favors and hadn't been to prison

Everyday is a gift
So before you start your shift
Give thanks that you exist
And the sun will smile
And the trees will dance
And the birds will sing
And we'll stand a chance
Everyday is a gift
So before you start your shift
Give thanks that you exist
And the sun will smile
And the trees will dance
And the birds will sing
And we'll stand a chance

Light Love Truth Peace
The honey herb tea with the mango and peach
Life is a beach where nothing's ever out of your reach
Positive vibes, yo everybody's chillin' outside
Glimpse glance, the eyes will dance
Everything is beautiful, speak to plants
Sing with birds, ollie the curb
Think on the good, that right there's in the word

Everyday is a gift
So before you start your shift
Give thanks that you exist
And the sun will smile
And the trees will dance
And the birds will sing
And we'll stand a chance
Everyday is a gift
So before you start your shift
Give thanks that you exist
And the sun will smile
And the trees will dance
And the birds will sing
And we'll stand a chance

The light hits the river and the colors write symphonies
Yellow does strings, red brass, blue timpani
Brown sampled Al Green and made a beat
With some deep purple drums and
Guitars from Pink Anderson
I knew it would be worth the trip
Thirty five for a ticket but the show is a hit
And now I see the world in a whole new way
The feeling stayed, give thanks
I've been given a day
And hieroglyphics poured down from the fixture
In a mixture of movies and pictures
Ironically I felt more like myself than before
Images scaled the walls and seeped into the floor
Next, we took a walk on the town
Left the bikes locked up to feel our feet on the ground
Everything was new
And yo the plants could dance to the beat
Then an ivy leaf started to speak
