Tragedies are common place
All kinds of diseases
People are slipping away
The econonimes down
People can't get enough pay
But as for me, all i can say is
Thank you lord, for all you've done for me

There's folks without homes
Living out in the streets
And the drug habits some say
Just won't cease
Muggers and robbers

No place seems to be safe
But you'll be my protection
Every step of the way
And i want to say
Thank you lord, for all you've done for me

(It could have been me) thank you
(Outdoors) thank you
(With no food) thank you
(And no clothes) thank you
(Or all alone) thank you
(Without a friend) thank you
(Or just another number) thank you
(With a tragic end) thank you, oh
(But you didn't see fit) thank you
(To let none of those things be) thank you
('Cause everyday by your power) thank you
(You keep on keeping me) thank you
Thank you lord for all you've done for me

(I wanna thank you for your love) thank you
(I wanna thank you for your power) thank you
(I wanna thank you for protection) thank you
(Every hour) thank you

I wanna thank you for your love (thank you)
I wanna thank you for your power (thank you)
I wanna thank you for protection (thank you)
Every hour (thank you)
