Grateful

Lyrics:

I open my eyes and thank God for another day

Not promised tomorrow so I appreciate today

Every breath is a gift every heartbeat a blessing

Count it all joy even when life is stressing

Because I know where I came from I know what I survived

Every odd against me but I'm still alive

Grateful for the journey every mountain every valley

Every empty fridge that taught me not to tally

Blessings by possessions but by presence and love

Grateful for the grace raining from above

Grateful grateful that's my testimony

I've been through the fire but the flames don't own me

Grateful grateful can't take it for granted

Every single blessing that the universe has handed

To me to mine to the ones I love

Grateful for the push when I needed a shove

In the right direction when I wanted to quit

Grateful grateful every bit

I'm grateful for my mama and the prayers she prayed

For every sacrifice and every dollar she saved

To give me a chance at a life she never had

Grateful for my father even lessons from my dad

That taught me who I wanted and didn't want to be

Grateful for the people who believed in me

When I didn't believe in myself they held me up

Grateful for the overflow in my cup

I'm grateful for the heartbreaks that taught me worth

For the failures that preceded every rebirth

For the no's that redirected me to better yes's

For the struggles that became my success stories

Nothing wasted everything used for good

Ended up exactly where I knew I would

Not by luck but by grace and grind combined

Grateful for this life grateful for this time

Grateful grateful that's my testimony

I've seen the darkness but the light came for me

Grateful grateful every single day

Wake up with thank you as the first thing I say

For the roof over my head for the food on my plate

For the love in my life it's never too late

To say grateful grateful

I'm grateful I'm grateful

For everything everything

Grateful
