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
