Sometimes when I start to feel the blues
Some would gladly choose to be in my shoes
When I’m tempted to stew and blow a fuse
I can have joy and happiness even if I lose
It’s so easy to complain
Considering all, it becomes so plain
When I’m surrounded by love
From family, friends, and God above
When I’m blessed with good health
And can help someone else
When I can think clearly
And express myself sincerely
When I can walk around
And hear every sound
When I can see the sights
And appreciate the wonders of life
My gratitude grows more and more
‘Cause I have everything I can ask for
