[Verse]
I didn't get in your favor
maybe our time was not due
but when I was weak, you were my saver
I'm thankful for the chance with you.

[Chorus]
I used to go to sleep
thinking where I fell short
but today I recall one moment
I can be thankful for.

[Verse]
I had too high expectations
gale storms hushed the song of the whales
but I saw the waterfowl migration
I'm thankful for the leading sails.

[Chorus]
I used to go to sleep
thinking where I fell short
but today I recall one moment
I can be thankful for.

[Bridge]
I may not know the author of this play
yet I'm thankful for this day.

[Verse]
Even in fights for survival
when riches don't make my life feel fair
I feel for the troubles of my rival
we'll be thankful for the weight we share.

[Chorus]
I used to go to sleep
thinking where I fell short
but today I recall one moment
I can be thankful for.

[Outro]
I close my eyes with peace of mind
soothing dreams 'til dawn.
