Be Thankful

(album: Thankful - 1977)

You may be in a big city or driving down a country lane, yeah
Working two jobs to make a living
And all you do is complain, well
You should be thankful of what you got
Yes, you should be thankful of all you got

Waking up in the morning, seeing the sun rise
(Well, well)
Is enough to say, "I thank you, Lord"
Rolling over, seeing my baby's eyes, uh
Is enough to say, "I thank you, Lord"

I just wanna say thank you
(Thank you)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord
(Thank you)

(Thank you)
Thank you
(Thank you)
Thank you

(Thank you)
Thank you, Lord
Be thankful of what you got
(You know you should)
Be thankful of all you got

You may live in the valley, you may live on the highest hill
Some people say, you don't do nothing but take the doctor's pills
You may be in a nursery, in a classroom
Driving your big fine car, hup

Airplanes, uh, take you, uh far
Laying out in the sun, uh, or just working on the run
Hoo, you should be thankful of what you got
I know you should be thankful, oh, yeah, of all you got

(Well, well)
Yeah, ooh, oh
(Be thankful)
We need to be thankful of what you got
Of everything we got

(Be thankful)
We need to be more thankful
(Of all you got)
Of everything you got
(Be thankful)
Thank you, thank you, thank you

(Of all you got)
Thank you for all I got
(Be thankful)
Thank you
