[Verse 1]
Old minivan with the peeling paint
Hand-me-down shoes
But we never felt faint
You stretched every dollar like a long
Deep breath
Turned a little bit of nothing into all we had left
[Chorus]
I’m thankful for the life you gave us
Every late-night worry
Every quiet prayer
For the roof that held our laughter
For the love that followed us everywhere
Mom and Dad
You built our world from hope and faith
I’m thankful for the life you gave
[Verse 2]
Three wild boys at the kitchen table
Spilling milk
You just laughed
Said “You’ll be able
To do better someday
You’ll see”
You believed in my brothers
You believed in me
[Chorus]
I’m thankful for the life you gave us
Every small-town sunrise
Every tired day’s end
For the rides to all our ball games
For the way you called us “son” and “friend”
Mom and Dad
You built our world from hope and faith
I’m thankful for the life you gave
[Bridge]
We didn’t have everything
We had more than enough
All those ordinary moments
Turned to unshakable love (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m thankful for the life you gave us
For the scars and stories
For the lessons learned
For my brothers standing beside me
For the way our hearts keep running home
Return
Mom and Dad
You built our world from hope and faith
I’m thankful for the life you gave
So thankful for the life you gave
