Thank you for a life that I'd call happy Overlooking all that we've been through When it comes to loving I've been lucky Everything I am, I owe to you Thank you for the little girls you gave me Thank you for them bouncing baby boys Thank you for the sadness that you saved me from the madness, baby All I'm crying now are tears of joy Thank you for that burning sun that's rising Golden in the air that smells so sweet Thank you for that empty far horizon That opens to a new eternity You know I'm grateful for the freedom And the chances And every little piece of sweetness That I've known And I'm grateful for the justice And the mercy And all the truth and beauty I've been shown So thank you for a life that I'd call happy Overlooking all that we've been through When it comes to loving I've been lucky Everything I am, I owe to you
