[Intro]
[male vocal]
In this world nobody is happy anymore
Everyone living in fear
It is hard to find joy in this life
When you’re scared about everything you hear
[Verse 1]
But if you find something to cling to
Something that brings you joy
A memory a thought something you see
Music you hear even if it is from a toy
[Chorus]
Make peace and be thankful
Find love and be thankful
Even in hard times when your back is against the wall
When times are hard be thankful.
[Guitar Solo]
[Female Vocal]
[Verse 2]
I have been beaten and thrown around
I’ve had my hard times when nothing goes right
I’ve wanted to end it all and given up
But I’m still here to finish the fight
[Chorus]
[choir]
Make peace and be thankful
Find love and be thankful
When you find yourself on the floor pick yourself up
When times are hard be thankful!
[Violin Solo]
[Bridge]
Nothing in this life is worth being down
Things are gonna happen it is how you react
Don’t let the haters win and stand your ground
Be thankful for what you have
[Final Chorus]
Make peace and be thankful
Fall in love and be thankful
Give this life a chance and learn how to dance
No matter what happens you must…
Be thankful!
[Outro]
[male dialogue]
Thank the Lord for all I have and give me peace about what I don’t have. I ask you Lord to be with me when I make decisions and influence me to make good choices… Amen!
