My List of Gifts

[Verse 1]
When I feel so sad and blue,
I count the good,
One by one, it's true.
To hurt, to fear, to love so deep,
They all live together
In one heart that beats.

[Verse 2]
Just enough health to carry on,
To see the moon and stars at night,
To hear the falling rain,
To feel the warm sunlight.

[Verse 3]
To do some good for someone else,
To live a life that's truly true.
To know to have a friend
Is to carry them with you.

[Chorus - your mantra]
If I slip and start to fall,
If my joy slips away,
I won't suffer anymore.
I'll make my list of gifts
And I'll keep my smile once more.
I'll make my list of gifts
And I'll keep my smile once more.

[Bridge - Final]
That's what life is, after all,
Hanging by a thread so thin,
But who is thankful for a little,
Has everything within.
