Thankful
The Juicebox Jukebox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody gets a soul
Everybody gets a mind
To let them know
That we can be smart
And we can be kind
And we can be living by giving and loving all the time
So on the days when it's feeling tough
And it seems like you don't have enough, well
Let's be thankful for our friends and family
And grateful for the air that we breathe
And appreciate everything that we have today
(Hey) let's be generous to anyone who less than us
It's good to be compassionate
'Cause ever since the day you were born, yeah
You've got a lot to be thankful for
Yeah, we've got a lot to be thankful for
Everybody gets the land
And everybody gets a seed
So everybody lend a hand
To those in need
'Cause we can be nice (we can be nice)
We can all share
And we can keep be growing together
It's better when everyone cares
So on the days when it's feeling tough
And it seems like you don't have enough, well
Let's be thankful for our friends and family
And grateful for the air that we breathe
And appreciate everything that we have today
(Hey) let's be generous to anyone who less than us
It's good to be compassionate
'Cause ever since the day you were born, yeah
You've got a lot to be thankful for
Yeah, we've got a lot to be thankful for
So, what are you thankful for?
I'm thankful for my family (I am thankful for my neighbors)
I'm thankful for my dog (I am thankful for the food I have to eat)
I'm thankful for my heart (I am thankful for my grandma and grandpa)
I'm thankful for my teacher (I am thankful for my house)
We're thankful for the Earth
So on the days when it's feeling tough
And it seems like you don't have enough, well
Let's be thankful for our friends and family
And grateful for the air that we breathe
And appreciate everything that we have today
(Hey) let's be generous to anyone who less than us
It's good to be compassionate
'Cause ever since the day you were born, yeah
You've got a lot to be thankful for (thankful)
Yeah, we've got a lot to be thankful for (thankful)
Uh-huh, we've got a lot to be thankful for (appreciate)
Yeah, we've got a lot to be thankful for (hey)
Alright, we've got a lot to be thankful for
Yeah, we've got a lot to be thankful for...
