John Bucchino Grateful Lyrics

Grateful Lyrics

I've got a roof over my head
I've got a warm place to sleep
Some nights I
lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep

I've got a heart
that can hold love
I've got a mind that can think
There may be times when
I lose the light
And let my spirits sink
But I can't stay
depressed
When I remeber how I'm blessed

Grateful, grateful
Truly
grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly
grateful

In a city of strangers
I've got a family of friends
No
matter what rocks and brambles fill the way
I know that they will stay in
the end

I feel a hand holding my hand
It's not a hand you can
see
But on the road to the promised land
This hand will shepherd
me
Through delight and despair
Holding tight and always
there

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful,
grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful

It's not that I don't
want a lot
Or hope for more, or dream of more
But giving thanks for what
I've got
Makes me so much happier than keeping score

In a world that
can bring pain
I will still take each chance
For I believe that whatever
the terrain
Our feet can learn to dance
Whatever stone life may
sling
We can moan or we can sing

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful
I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
