I wanna thank you, world, for lettin' me belong
i'm just 1/4 of one small group that sings your songs
i know that there are others who have served in bigger ways
all i can do is sing your music all my days
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that i can be
unique and fill a spot beside the other 3
without a place here in this world, i know that i'd be lost
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
I may not ever stand like stonewall jackson stood
but standin' on that stage to me is just as good
now i may never be a heavy or a break
but you've given me the strength, the strength to pull my way
Oh for the part i sing is truly part of me
and it does its part to lock the other parts in key
and it does its part to cool, cool that sweet-a pose
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Oh world, you've given me a place that i call mine
though i've stepped out of it & i've gotten out of line
sometimes i sing the music slightly out of key
and i know i make it harder for the other 3
I've always done my part the very best i could
and it's done the other guys a world of good
you've let me sing your praises, world, & about your faults
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that i can be
unique and fill a spot beside the other 3
without a place here in this world, i know that i'd be lost
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
without a place here in this world, i know that i'd be lost
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
