Give Thanks
Daisy Chute Lyrics

Pray for your mother when you sleep
Ask a higher power to protect and watch over your mother while you sleep.

Pray for the friends you’ve lost and weep
Pray that your friends who have passed away find peace and comfort, and allow yourself to express your grief.

Pray for the family you’ve known
Ask for blessings and protection for your family members.

Pray for the lovers long gone
Ask for peace and love for those you once loved and lost, and cherish the memories you shared.

Give thanks for the skin that holds you in
Be grateful for your physical body, which serves as a vessel for your soul.

Thanks for the mysteries therein
Show thankfulness for the complexities and enigmas of the human body and mind.

Give thanks for the time you’ve had so far
Appreciate the years and experiences you've had, and the opportunities that allowed them to occur.

Give thanks for all that you are
Be thankful for all aspects of yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses, your triumphs and your challenges.

Love like you’ve never loved before
Approach each new relationship with an open heart, without holding back or fearing pain from past experiences.

Choose like you’ve always been sure
Make decisions with confidence, trusting your instincts and judgments.

Live like you’ve never lived a day
Approach each new day with a sense of wonder and possibility, free from the limitations of past events.

Die like you lived them all that way
At the end of your life, be at peace with the way you have lived and the choices you have made.

Give thanks for all that you are
Be grateful one more time for all aspects of yourself, your character, your experiences and your achievements.
