Thankful Lyrics

I remember the days I used to pray for this life that I'm living

It was me, myself, and God, nothing was handed or given

But take a look at me now, I made a little a lot

Nothing able to hold me back as I reach for the top spot

Ain't always been sunny days, at times I made my bed in hell

And I could never hold the count all the times that I fell

But I got up, I shook it off the shame I wore I took it off

Continued time and time and hit the ground but don't count it a loss

I spent a lot of days just wondering how could it be

How could everyone be living they dream except for me

Am I just cursed or unlucky, can't put my finger on it

I done my best but didn't end up with the life I wanted

That's when I started to count all the ways that I've been faithful

But in hearing my plea, I noticed I sounded ungrateful

And changed my focus from what I've done to who He is

That's when it all turned around, y'all know how good He is

I can't repay for all the things that He's done

But with the breath He blew right into my lungs

I'ma say that I'm thankful I'm thankful

I'm thankful I'm thankful

I can't repay for all the things that He's done

But with the breath He blew right into my lungs

I'ma say that I'm thankful I'm thankful

I'm thankful I'm thankful

Okay, I get it you frustrated yeah I been there too

Remembering when where I started, see I was just like you

I never wanted anything more than to be successful

But in pursuit of my dreams I found it way too stressful

The grind, the effort, the sacrifice to put things together

But my passion was big enough to bear the stormy weather

I scraped together all I could although I had no money

Hoping my fam would join in, to them it sounded funny

Look who's laughing now I'm living my dream

And I will never trade the struggle if you know what I mean

They say pressure makes diamonds now look at me shine

But all the glory goes above cause it's surely not mine

So I'm thankful for this life I got the good and the bad

I'm thankful for my family and all the times that we had

And I'm thankful for whoever's listening, I'm thankful for the first time

There ain't nothing missing

Guess what I'm saying is

I can't repay for all the things that He's done

But with the breath He blew right into my lungs

I'ma say that I'm thankful I'm thankful

I'm thankful I'm thankful

I can't repay for all the things that He's done

But with the breath He blew right into my lungs

I'ma say that I'm thankful I'm thankful

I'm thankful I'm thankful
