I've been pilin' on the years Full of laughter, sometimes tears I feel thankful for them now Want to keep them here with me somehow Thankful Thankful When I look at what we've done When I think of all the fun I'm thankful for the way I feel When I look at what is real Thankful Thankful Thankful for the beauty of peaceful Earth The days of life, the days of birth If we can stay here for some more If we can open heaven's door Thankful Thankful Thankful for the life we have The way we love, the way we love Thankful Thankful
