1. GRATEFUL
AND I’M SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE ON THE EARTH
FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE
TO KNOW MY REAL WORTH
SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR ALL I HAVE WITHIN THIS CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
ANOTHER BREATH, ANOTHER DAY
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ALL WE NEED TO COME OUR WAY
ANOTHER SMILE TO PASS FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND
SO MANY SIMPLY JOYS TO SHARE THAT NEVER END
AND I’M SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE ON THE EARTH
FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE
TO KNOW MY REAL WORTH
SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR ALL I HAVE WITHIN THIS CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
YOUR HEART’S STILL BEATING, SO BLESS YOUR GUIDING STAR
LAUGH AND BE THANKFUL FOR THE WONDER THAT YOU ARE
WHEN WE GIVE THANKS, PURE LOVE WILL GROW
AND WE REAP THE SEEDS OF GRATITUDE WE SOW
AND I’M SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE ON THE EARTH
FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE
TO KNOW MY REAL WORTH
SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR ALL I HAVE WITHIN THIS CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
IS YOUR CUP HALF EMPTY, IS YOUR CUP HALF FULL?
ARE YOU LIVIN’ IN THE LIGHT, OR THE LORD OF MISRULE?
ARE YOU SINGIN’ PRAISE OR PREACHIN’ DISCONTENT?
WHEN YOU COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
THERE’S NO TIME TO LAMENT….
PLACE YOUR FEET FIRM ON THIS SACRED GROUND
FEEL ALL CREATION DANCING TO THE SOUND
THE POWER OF NOW – BREATHE THE MOMENT IN
LET YOUR GLADNESS COME ALIVE, YOUR LIFE BEGIN
AND I’M SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE ON THE EARTH
FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE
TO KNOW MY REAL WORTH
SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR ALL I HAVE WITHIN THIS CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
FOR ALL I HAVE WITHIN THIS CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS

2. I CHOOSE LIFE
I CHOOSE LOVE AND I CHOOSE LIVING
I CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP AND FORGIVING
I CHOOSE HOPE, I CHOOSE TRUST: I CHOOSE LIFE (I CHOOSE LIFE!)
I CHOOSE LESSONS I CAN DEAL WITH, INTUITION I CAN HEAL WITH
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE
I CHOOSE HEART, I CHOOSE COMPASSION
I MAKE HONESTY MY FASHION
I CHOOSE OPENNESS AND CARING: I CHOOSE LIFE (I CHOOSE LIFE!)
I CHOOSE THE COURAGE TO BE TENDER, I LET GO AND I SURRENDER
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE
WHEN WE LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE
OUR CHALLENGES ARE FUN
AND LIVING IN THE PRESENT TENSE
IS WHEN WE’VE REALLY WON
I CHOOSE GIVING AND RECEIVING
I CHOOSE JOYFULLY BELIEVING
IN A HIGHER SELF TO GUIDE ME: I CHOOSE LIFE ( I CHOOSE LIFE!)
I CHOOSE LISTENING IN SILENCE, USING WORDS THAT HAVE NO VIOLENCE
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE
I CHOOSE WINNING, I CHOOSE SHARING
AS I WALK MY PATH OF DARING
I CHOOSE WEALTH, I CHOOSE HEALTH: I CHOOSE LIFE (I CHOOSE LIFE!)
I CHOOSE LAUGHTER WHEN I’M CRYING,
I CHOOSE TO LIVE WHEN I’M NEAR DYING
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME: I CHOOSE LIFE
WHEN WE LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE
OUR CHALLENGES ARE FUN. AND LIVING IN
THE PRESENT TENSE IS WHEN WE’VE REALLY WON
I CHOOSE STANDING IN MY POWER, DAY BY DAY AND HOUR BY HOUR
I CHOOSE STRENGTH, I CHOOSE WISDOM: I CHOOSE LIFE (I CHOOSE LIFE!)
I CHOOSE TO FACE MY EVERY FEAR
I CHOOSE RIGHT NOW TO BE RIGHT HERE…
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME, I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME, I CHOOSE LIFE, YES!
I CHOOSE THE REAL ME – I CHOOSE LIFE!
