about

We wrote this song for kids that were taking part in an online music production/songwriting camp this summer. Each week focused on a virtue, this was the last week - thankfulness. After writing the song for those kids, it started to have a profound effect on us. Now we hope this song provides a moment of relief for those who have a moment to listen.

lyrics

Verse 1 (Karim):

I'm thankful for that I'm thankful for this
I'm thankful for all of the bounty and gifts
Through all of the tests, all of the pain
I'm counting my blessings like every day
I celebrate - using my voice
Connecting with people - I'm open to joy
Look at this world - it could be nice
If we reflected the treasure of life
Measure it right and then you will see
There is no end to the depth of the sea
Soothing my sadness, giving me hope
This is a place that I'm thankful to be
I'm thankful for me, I'm thankful for you
I'm thankful for all of the things we've been through
So when I feel down and need to be up
I know that I'm lifting my spirits because

CHORUS:

I'm thankful for truth - I'm thankful
I'm thankful for love - I'm thankful
I'm thankful for pain - I'm thankful
I know that I'm lifting my spirits because

I'm thankful for truth - I'm thankful
I'm thankful for love - I'm thankful
I'm thankful for pain - I'm thankful
I know that I'm lifting my spirits because

Verse 2 (JC):

Staring out at the night
What a lovely sight - looking up in the sky
Search the stars as they sing
For the joy that it brings - having you by my side
This is a place full of dreams
when I'm with you it seems
more and more like anything's possible
turning copper to gold
bringin' warm to the cold that's in my life
I'm thankful for you..



CHORUS

Bridge:

JC:

and I'm so thankful for the
way you hold me down down down
when I need somebody

Karim:

Be thankful to pain when you get it in
Be thankful to love and you'll let it in
Be happy today
When you are grateful
Because joy is like medicine
Be thankful to God and His Eloquence
Be thankful and watch Him bring Heaven in
Just with a look, just with a glimpse,
The love your eyes is the evidence
Be thankful to pain when you get it in
Be thankful to love and you'll let it in
Be happy today
When you are grateful
Because joy is like medicine
