Grateful
Time to wake up, time to wake up
Time to wake up and see
All the beautiful blessings
Oh all the beautiful blessings
For the errors and mistakes I have learned from
For forgiveness I've received and also given
For faith in humanity to love beyond capacity
For freedom to believe, speak, and defend what matters most to me
So when you look into the mirror what do you see
Is the person staring back at you who you wanna be
Amidst affliction, loneliness, sickness, and poverty
We've still reason to smile
There are tender mercies
So I am
Grateful for a home, for a family
For the real ones who've shown up for me
For dreams and aspirations
For work and an education
For all the possibilities that God has given me
I am thankful
Oh I am grateful, grateful, grateful
We've food to eat, clothes to give
Wounds to heal, bonds to mend
Hearts to learn, souls to friend
Smiles to share, lives uplift
Thoughts that penetrate our being
A nose that smells and eyes that see
Colors and diversity, both differences and unity
So are we grateful?
Let's be grateful, grateful
Grateful for the lows
Grateful to be learning
To give a helping hand
Even when I'm struggling
To pick myself up and be a better me
By thanking God for all He's given me
So when you look into the mirror what do you see
Is the person staring back at you who you wanna be
Amidst affliction, loneliness, sickness, and poverty
We've still reason to smile
There are tender mercies
Let's be grateful for our homes and our families
Grateful for the real ones who show up on the daily
For our roots and education
For living in this nation
For all the possibilities that God has given you and me
Are we grateful
Let's be grateful, let's be grateful
For all the possibilities that God has given you and me
Are we grateful
Let's be grateful, let's be grateful
Grateful for the lows
Grateful for the journey
Grateful to thank God
For all He's given me
Time to wake up and see
All the beautiful blessings
Oh all the beautiful blessings
For the errors and mistakes I have learned from
For forgiveness I've received and also given
For faith in humanity to love beyond capacity
For freedom to believe, speak, and defend what matters most to me
So when you look into the mirror what do you see
Is the person staring back at you who you wanna be
Amidst affliction, loneliness, sickness, and poverty
We've still reason to smile
There are tender mercies
So I am
Grateful for a home, for a family
For the real ones who've shown up for me
For dreams and aspirations
For work and an education
For all the possibilities that God has given me
I am thankful
Oh I am grateful, grateful, grateful

Let's be grateful, let's be grateful
For all the possibilities that God has given you and me

Let's be grateful, let's be grateful
Grateful for the lows
Grateful for the journey
Grateful to thank God
For all He's given me
