There are many things I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are
I'm thankful for the earth
I'm thankful for the sea
I'm thankful for my friends
And I'm thankful to be me.
There are many things I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are
I'm thankful for the sun
I'm thankful for each tree
I'm thankful for my home
And I'm thankful to be me
There are many things I am thankful for
I can find them near and far
There are many things I am thankful for
Let me tell you what they are
I'm thankful for my food
I'm thankful to be free
I'm thankful for the stars
And I'm thankful to be me
