The song "Thankful" by Virtue! is a tribute to the power of gratitude and the importance of recognizing the blessings in our lives. The song opens with a reflection on the simple joy of waking up alive and breathing, and the beauty of seeing the sun shining after a night of dreaming. The lyrics point out the tendency we have to take these small miracles for granted, and to forget that our lives are sustained by a higher power.
The second verse of the song takes this message further, by acknowledging the more complex blessings that come into our lives--such as the healing of a loved one or the freedom to speak our minds. The lyrics suggest that we have a natural tendency to become complacent and forgetful when things are going well, and that this can lead to a sense of entitlement or arrogance.
Overall, the song is a reminder that we should take time to recognize the beauty and wonder of the world around us, and to give thanks for the many things we take for granted. It encourages listeners to adopt an attitude of humility and gratitude, and to recognize the many ways in which a higher power has blessed us.
