Thankful
by Jonny Lang

Album: Live at the Ryman

Verse 1 SOLO
Someone's standing in a welfare line
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign
Someone's stressing bout to lose
their mind, I got to be thankful, thankful.

Someone just became a single mother, someone just lost a sister or brother. It's so important that we love each other and be thankful, thankful.

Hook
I've got to take the time to say, that I'm thankful, thankful!
For every single breath that I take,
I've got to be thankful, thankful!

Verse 2 SOLO
Someone's sitting in a prison cell
Wasting away in their own personal hell, everybody's got their own story to tell, I've got to be thankful, thankful.

Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot, now I realize just how much I've got! Now every day I'm gonna take the time and stop to be thankful, thankful.

REPEAT Hook

Bridge: Duet
Any one of these, so easily could have been me. But if it had not been for Grace and Mercy, who knows where I'd be?

Verse 3 SOLO
I've been riding on this roller coaster ride, round and round I've seen the up and downside. And I'm here to tell you that the secret of life is being thankful, thankful!
