Be thankful, then, all your life; don't think twice
Good things can come even on the worst of days
When I was down and feeling absurd in the shadow of the night
A simple man started singing to me a hymn of hope and life
Because you live
Be thankful, then, all your life; don't think twice
Good friends will stand by your side in the worst of hours
A black-eyed man told me all of his tears could fill a riverbed
But you bring hope to the hurting and sad and sorrow will not last
Sorrow will not last
Because you live
