I\'ve got a roof over my head
I\'ve got a warm place to sleep
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep

I\'ve got a heart that can hold love
I\'ve got a mind that can think
There may be times when I lose the light
And let my spirits sink
But I can\'t stay depressed
When I remeber how I\'m blessed

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful

In a city of strangers
I\'ve got a family of friends
No matter what rocks and brambles fill the way
I know that they will stay in the end

I feel a hand holding my hand
It\'s not a hand you can see
But on the road to the promised land
This hand will shepherd me
Through delight and despair
Holding tight and always there

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful

It\'s not that I don\'t want a lot
Or hope for more, or dream of more
But giving thanks for what I\'ve got
Makes me so much happier than keeping score

In a world that can bring pain
I will still take each chance
For I believe that whatever the terrain
Our feet can learn to dance
Whatever stone life may sling
We can moan or we can sing

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
