Be Thankful You're You
Don't envy your neighbor
With all of his wells
And things that his money can do
With all of his riches
He may not have health
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Don't covet the talent
The other man has
And know that your talents are few
Just use the one talent
On you he bestowed
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Well I guess it's only human
For us to look around and see
What other folks possess and say:
"I wish that it were me"
We spend our time on wishing
And soon our life is gone
Whilе we longed for another's chancе
And failed to see our own
Don't long for the fame
That another has won
His smile may hide tears as the dew
The happiest person
Is not always the great
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
With all of his wells
And things that his money can do
With all of his riches
He may not have health
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Don't covet the talent
The other man has
And know that your talents are few
Just use the one talent
On you he bestowed
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Well I guess it's only human
For us to look around and see
What other folks possess and say:
"I wish that it were me"
We spend our time on wishing
And soon our life is gone
Whilе we longed for another's chancе
And failed to see our own
Don't long for the fame
That another has won
His smile may hide tears as the dew
The happiest person
Is not always the great
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
