Thankful

I had it all
Then I started to fall
I turned away from all the things that mattered
I was lost in the dust
No one to trust
My world came crashing down and shattered

Then you came along
My shelter from the storm
I put my life into your hands
And you made me a better man

And now I'm thankful for the love you've shown
Your love for me, I've never known
Thankful for the stars above
Hoping for more peace and love

Thankful when the sun is shining
Day by day, I'm really trying
Thankful for this moment here
And thankful you are here

I needed a friend
To help me along
I needed somebody here to help me sing my song
Now I have good days
I'm changing my ways
And it's a beautiful day here in California

When you came along
My shelter from the storm
I put my life into your hands
And you made me a better man

And now I'm thankful for the love you've shown
Your love for me, I've never known
Thankful for the stars above
Hoping for more peace and love

Thankful when the sun is shining
Day by day, I'm really trying
Thankful for this moment here
And thankful you are here (thankful you are here)
You are here
