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 remember how i'm blessed
Grateful, grateful
truly grateful i am
grateful, grateful
truly blessed
and duly grateful
In a city of strangers
i got a family of friends
no matter what rocks and brambles fill the way
i know that they will stay until 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 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
Truly blessed
and duly grateful.
