Thank You

I thank God for my muse when I write these songs
I never met another person that was quite as strong
We're a perfect fit, no need to try it on
You shine like the stars in the sky when the lights are off
That's probably why your smile can be seen from space
I thank God every day that he keeps you safe
Ask for forgiveness and pray we don't repeat mistakes
Hope you can see the way I appreciate you
I wanna thank you for making me a better man
Pray you can tell I am doing the best I can
I prayed for a second chance, I'll pay for the wedding bands
I don't wanna stress you, just let you know where my head is at
I wanna thank you for the confidence instilled in me
And repay you for everything that you did for me
It isn't easy, but believe me, we'll make it through
I thank God and I pray every day for you

I wanna thank you for
Everything you've done for me
I wouldn't be the man I am
Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for
Always being there for me
I wanna pay you back
For always takin' care of me

I thank God I had a mom that taught me right from wrong
I'm not surprised or shocked, she defied the odds
I know the days were hard and the nights were long
Had to raise three kids and find a job
She worked the nightshift, so the bills were paid
And there was always food on the dinner plate
I wore hand-me-downs to school, they're a little frayed
Sick of getting picked on, so I misbehaved
But thank God my dad taught me how to be a man
I was a lost boy, no Peter Pan
That's word to Jaden Smith, taught me what patience is
And gave his kid so much more than a place to live
I learned everything I know from you
If I didn't there's no telling what I'd grow into
To my parents, I know it's long overdue
But from the bottom of my heart, thank both of you

I wanna thank you for
Everything you've done for me
I wouldn't be the man I am
Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for
Always being there for me
I wanna pay you back
For always takin' care of me

I thank God for the music when it starts to play
I'm thankful I could use it on my darkest days
Even when I start to lose it or it's hard to pray
It removes and soothes the pain and helps the scars to fade
The funny thing about a heart is it ain't hard to break
Music is there to repair it and spark the flame
We perish, the bars remain; piano, guitars, and bass
I channel these harsh mistakes into the art I make
I'm very invested, I'm aware of these blessings
This is a therapy session, how I bury depression
I share these confessions with the barest intentions
Music can change the way that you wear an expression
We don't appreciate the rain till the pavement dries
So turn the bass up high and watch the pain subside
'Cause there were days when I truly prayed to die
Music saved my life, this is how I stayed alive

I wanna thank you for
Everything you've done for me
I wouldn't be the man I am
Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for
Always being there for me
I wanna pay you back
For always takin' care of me

I always thank God, first and foremost
I felt cursed since birth, we were born broke
Lord knows we were poor, couldn't afford clothes
But you opened windows when the doors closed
Without you, none of the rest would be possible
I even thank you for the stress and the obstacles
The hard to swallow truth and the lessons that taught me to
Keep my head high and the rest will follow suit
I wanna thank you with an open sincerity
For this moment of clarity, the focus you share with me
You gave me hope when they took me for a joke or a parody
You showed the severity; when I was broken, you carried me
I'm grateful for the strength you gave to never give up
I'm thankful for every second that there's breath in my lungs
My faith's true, I praise you for the message of love
And I just wanna thank you for the blessings you brung

I wanna thank you for
Everything you've done for me
I wouldn't be the man I am
Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for
Always being there for me
I wanna pay you back
For always takin' care of me
