It's a wonderful thing to go to sleep and
Wake up in the morning, and you're breathin'

But we're only alive because he allows it (say it again)
It's so easy to think we're independent
But just think if he wasn't there where would we be?

For the sunny days he gives us and lights up our lives (ohh)
We must be sure that we to give thanks to him, (be thankful)
For those chilly nights he holds us, and caresses our lives

It's a wonderful thing to hear the voice of freedom when you need it
I've heard it

Then it's not them it's us who more so demanding (it's so easy)
It's so easy to get complaced
But just imagine if we lost him where would we be?

He greets us in the mornin', (in the mornin') from a peaceful sleep, (yeah)
And watched over us all through the night (ohh)
From the cars we drive (cars we drive) and the planes that fly, (the planes we fly)
He shows us his love, by reserving our lives

Be thankful for all that he's done for you, (o)
