I'm grateful for the sun that warms this valley

I'm grateful for the water and the wind

I'm grateful for the cool of summer evenings

And I'm grateful when the morning comes again

But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say

I'm grateful for this day

I'm grateful for the family that surrounds me

And I'm grateful for this time we have to spend

I'm grateful for my teachers and their wisdom

And I'm grateful for the company of friends

But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say

I'm grateful for this day

And I know there may be troubles yet to come

But still I have to smile

And I know our time is short

But I'm glad to be part of the dance, for awhile

I'm grateful for the gift of sharing music

I'm grateful for the sweetness of the wine

I'm grateful for the bounty at our table

And I'm grateful for my baby's eyes that shine

But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say

I'm grateful for this day
