Grateful

A penny for your thoughts
A dollar for your prays
Ten dollars for a blessing and your healing
If you ain't got no money, get to stealing
How would you feel if that's the only way he would answer?
Still you take it for granted
Everyday you make it a habit
Not to say thank you, you just expect and hope

Are you grateful?
Got a little money, got a little car
But you complain cause you want more
Oh whoa oh be, oh be grateful
For the little things, you got everything you need
Everyday you're living, everyday you breathe just be

You been waiting for somebody to love you
Praying for somebody to kiss and hug you
You been doing whatever you got to hold on to the past
Cause the one you've prayed for don't seem like he'll come
You want him now been waiting long enough
But you don't know the things you been protected from so be

Are you grateful?
Got a little money (in the bank), got a little car (you can drive)
But you complain cause you want more
Oh whoa oh be, oh be grateful
For the little things, you got everything you need
Everyday you're living, everyday you breathe just be

Be what you gotta do to see
Can you count your blessings?
No and I know you heard that before
But sometimes you need to be reminded why
Why you even worry at all
Cause everyday it'll work out so be

Are you grateful?
Got a little money, got a little car
But you complain cause you want more
Oh whoa oh be, oh be grateful
For the little things, you got everything you need
Everyday you're living, everyday you breathe just be

Be grateful, be grateful
There's always someone worse off than you
Be grateful, be grateful
They'd really rather be in your shoes (ohh)
Be grateful, be grateful
What are you complaining about?
Be grateful, be grateful
Whatever problem he will work it out
