If it weren't for kids have you ever thought There wouldn't be no Santa Clause Look what the store just brought Thank God for kids We'd all live in a quiet house Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse And Kool-aid on the couch Thank God for kids Thank God for kids there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile Did you ever stop to think, or wonder why? The dearest thing to Heaven is a child A 'Daddy how does this thing fly?' A hundred other where's and why's I really don't know but I try Thank God for kids When I look down in those trustin' eyes That look to me, I realize It's love that I can't buy Thank God for kids Thank God for kids there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile Did you ever stop to think, or wonder why? The dearest thing to Heaven is a child When you get down on your knees tonight To thank the Lord for his guiding light And pray they turn out right Thank God for kids Hmmm, thank God for kids
