You can close your eyes now
But don't expect me to pray
Because it'snot "God" I'm thankful for
But that we're here today
I'm not thankful I'm an American
I'm not proud to be free
I sit ere today proud and
Thankful that you're you and I'm me
You can pull out a history book
And try to shove it in my face
But it's not them I'm thankful for
But that We made this world a better place
I'm not so thankful for
Just a roof over my head
Because I know I could do without
And still be thankful not to be dead
I'm just thankful for people
Like you and every other
So take my hand and be greatful
Just to be here, my brother
