Thank You
John Mellencamp Lyrics

Let me say thank-you to those who love many
I want to express my gratitude towards those people who spread love to many people.

Let me say thank-you to those who still play fair
I appreciate the people who believe in fair play and conduct themselves accordingly.

Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit
Praise the Lord, humble and gentle people will receive the blessings of God.

Let me say thank-you to all you people out there, out there
I want to thank all the people out there for being there and for just existing.

Let me say grace for those who don't feel they matter
I want to pray for those who feel insignificant and believe that they don't matter to anyone.

May God look down on all the soldiers of this Earth
I hope that God watches over all the brave soldiers of this world.

Trying to find peace in this world that house so many
They are trying hard to achieve peace in a world that is home to a variety of people and cultures.

Let me say grace for those who feel lost from birth, lost from birth
I want to pray for those who feel like they have been lost and directionless right from their birth.

Let's give a smile for those who feel that they have nothing
Let's try to bring happiness to those who think they have nothing in their lives.

Let me shake the hand of Johnny Doe out on the street
I want to acknowledge the presence of an unknown person walking on the streets and show my respect by shaking hands with him.

Let's give a wink for those girls who don't feel pretty
Let's try to brighten the day of those girls who feel that they are not pretty enough by giving them a friendly wink.

Let's find some water for those who need a drink, need a drink
Let's take the effort to quench the thirst of those who are in need of water to survive.

And when I see so many broken and lonely
When I come across many people who are feeling shattered and isolated

Soon to be entering Heaven's door
Who are reaching the end of their lives and might soon enter the gates of heaven.

Let me count the ways
Let me try to think of all the possible ways in which I can make their last days easier and better.

Let me count the blessings
Let me remind myself of all the blessings I have received in my life and use them to help those in need.

That no man should feel lonely anymore
So that every individual on this earth should have a sense of companionship and not feel lonely anymore.

Let me say good luck to the people raising families
I want to wish all the parents good luck who are raising families and taking care of their children.

Let me say thank-you to the men who grow the bread
I want to thank all the farmers who put in their efforts to grow the bread that we eat and sustain our lives.

And here's to dreams of a bigger, brighter future
Let us all raise a toast to the dreams of a better and brighter future.

And that we all got someone to keep the stones from our bed
And hope for the fact that each one of us has someone who can help us remove any obstacles in our path and make our journey smoother.

Let me say thank-you to all you folks out there
Once again, I want to thank all the people out there for being there and being a part of this world.

All you people out there
All the people who form an integral part of this world - this line helps in concluding the song and reiterating the message of gratitude towards everyone.
