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
