Mmm-mmm
Sometimes we ask the heavens for more
But we don’t see the light we’re already holding
Mmm-mmm
Be grateful for what you have
Be grateful for what you have
That heavy job you’re tired of working
Is someone’s prayer in the dead of night
Somebody woke up with no tomorrow
While you still walk into morning light
That restless child who keeps on crying
Keeping you from sleep again
Somewhere in a house too quiet
Someone would give the world for that sound again
Your home may not be a castle
Just four plain walls around your name
But to the soul out in the cold wind
It would feel like heaven just the same
We keep looking higher, higher
And forget to look below
At the bread, the peace, the roof above us
At the things we may not always know
Be grateful for what you have while it’s with you
While the sunrise finds your door
While the sky above is blue and open
While you’re breathing one day more
Be grateful for what you have, don’t wait for losing
Just to learn what’s always true
What feels small in your hands today
Is what somebody begs God to give back too
That little money you’ve been saving
Is a dream to someone drowning deep in debt
They would trade their fear and sleepless nights
For the quiet evening you forget
Your health may not be perfect
But you still rise to meet the day
Somebody counts each fragile breath
Like shadows slowly slipping away
And the mistakes God kept in silence
Hidden from the judging crowd
Are the dream of someone fallen
Whose whole world broke beneath the shame out loud
We don’t call mercy mercy
While it’s sitting by our side
But life don’t ask for permission
It can change before the morning light
Be grateful for what you have while it’s with you
While the sunrise finds your door
While the sky above is blue and open
While you’re breathing one day more
Be grateful for what you have, don’t wait for losing
Just to learn what’s always true
What feels small in your hands today
Is what somebody begs God to give back too
Your quiet sleep is someone’s dream
In a land where the night burns red
Your food, your water, your peaceful table
Would feel like mercy and daily bread
That calm inside, that simple “I’m alright,”
A day with no gunfire in the air
Somebody’s crying out to heaven
On a war-torn ground in despair
Nobody knows what comes tomorrow
Nobody holds time in their hand
So hold the ones beside you closer
And whisper thanks while you still can
Be grateful for what you have while it’s with you
While the sunrise finds your door
While the sky above is blue and open
While you’re breathing one day more
Be grateful for what you have before it’s too late
While love still beats inside your chest
Everything you hold is also a miracle
Don’t lose it on the road ahead
Be grateful for what you have
While you can still see the light
Be grateful for what you have
Tomorrow may not look like yesterday
