Gratitude

I’m so grateful

I’m so grateful

I thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was seventeen

I thank the ones who chose to laugh & those who acted mean

I thank the bullies for all the scraps & accidents & then some

They shaped my life

They made me like who I’ve become

They shaped my life

They made me love who I am

I thank the girls who gave their hand & showed me how to dance

And I thank the ones who turned me down & never gave me a second chance

I learned that it’s okay for hearts to go on their own way

They shaped my life

They made me like who I am today

They shaped my life

They made me love who I am

That’s right

That’s right

Now I’ve got gratitude

Yes, I do

Gratitude

I’ve got gratitude

Yes, I do
