Give Thanks
SONYA SPENCE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day, we are complaining about everything, hmm
No time to give the Father thanks for all His love
How, can we be so ungrateful?
Nothing, just nothing ever seems to please us

It's time we stop complaining, yeah
Full time, we stop complaining, hmm
And take time out, to give the Father thanks
For all the lovely things He has given unto us, oh yeah

Birds to sing for us
Flowers to bloom for us
Food for us to eat
And clothes for us to wear

Come on, let's stop complaining, hmm-hmm
Full time, we stop complaining, yeah

(.)
Yeah

Every day, we are complaining about everything, hmm
Nothings good for us, everything is bad for us
We are mad with ourselves and everybody else, yeah
All because, we're just not satisfied
People, let's stop complaining, hmm-hmm
There's no need for us complaining, yeah
Hmm, let's stop complaining
How, can we be so ungrateful?

We have food to eat, oh yeah
We have clothes to wear




Birds and bees, flowers and trees, yeah
It's time, we give the Father thanks, ooh yeah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sonya Spence's song "Give Thanks" are a call to shift our perspective from complaining to gratitude. Spence observes that we often ignore the good things we have been blessed with and focus on what we lack or what's not going well in our lives. This tendency leads us to be ungrateful, no matter how much abundance we have. She suggests that if we take the time to stop and appreciate the gifts we have been given, we will see that life is full of beauty and wonder. We have birds singing for us, flowers blooming for us, and food to eat and clothes to wear. With these things in mind, Spence encourages us to drop our bitterness and embrace a spirit of thankfulness.


Overall, the song is a gentle reminder to be more mindful of life's little blessings and to cultivate gratitude for them. It's also an invitation to let go of our worries and focus on the present moment. By doing so, we will find ourselves feeling more at peace and content with what we have. The message is simple yet powerful, highlighting the importance of a positive attitude and appreciation for life's simple wonders.
