I'm grateful for the sun that warms this valley
I'm grateful for the water and the wind
I'm grateful for the cool of summer evenings
And I'm grateful when the morning comes again
But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
I'm grateful for this day
I'm grateful for the family that surrounds me
And I'm grateful for this time we have to spend
I'm grateful for my teachers and their wisdom
And I'm grateful for the company of friends
But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
I'm grateful for this day
And I know there may be troubles yet to come
But still I have to smile
And I know our time is short
But I'm glad to be part of the dance, for awhile
I'm grateful for the gift of sharing music
I'm grateful for the sweetness of the wine
I'm grateful for the bounty at our table
And I'm grateful for my baby's eyes that shine
But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
I'm grateful for this day
