Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if I should die tomorrow ill be singing along
I woke up this morning Grateful, Grateful
I never knew a sunrise till it shone above my bed
Bout time, I noticed music playing up above my head
Oh I lift up my hands in praise
Oh I lift up my hands in praise
Oh I lift up my hands in praise
Cuz I woke up this morning Grateful
Grateful
The lyrics of Lee Taylor's song Grateful talk about waking up with a sense of thankfulness for the simple things in life. The song starts with the sounds of children laughing and playing, accompanied by the melody of a familiar song. This moment of joy and innocence makes the singer realize the value of their life and how fortunate they are to experience such happiness. Even if tomorrow were their last day on earth, they would still be grateful for the memories of that moment.
The second verse talks about the sunrise and the music playing above the singer's head, suggesting that sometimes we take the beauty of life for granted. However, this morning is different, and the singer acknowledges it as a gift. The chorus repeats the word "grateful" three times, emphasizing its importance to the singer. The repetition is intended to create a meditative effect and to make us appreciate the little things in life that we seem to overlook. The song ends with the singer lifting their hands in praise, a sign of gratitude and humility.
