Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much that I cannot see the forest for the trees
And oh I feel the pressure now
And I'm about to blow, its all caving in on me
Something I know is amiss in my soul
My eyes are on me
They should not be
So I say...
Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You
I've got two words for You
Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You
From my heart
Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You
I've got three words more than thank You
I love You
I've got much to thank You for
You opened up the door
Turned my sorrow to joy
In this world that I am in
Your wonders never end
You define hope
Thinking of all that You have in store for me
I am in awe, I have got to stop
And thank You for the love I have found in You
I want to say thank You for the peace
That I have found with Your love surrounding me
I want to say thank You for the mercy
You've shown me the way that You've grown me
I want to say thank You for the bride
That You gave and all of our babies
I want to say thank You just for being You
'Cause You are the mystery that put a fix on me
I am just some dude with a checkered little history
Deep in the eye of my hurricane
But You are the blood pumping through my veins
