Grateful Songtext
von Art Garfunkel

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 spirit sink
But I can't stay depressed
When I remember 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 until 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

Truly blessed and duly grateful
