Sunday morning, I forgot my prayer |
|
I should have been happy, I still be there |
|
Something could have come and taken me away |
|
But the mainman felt Sly should be here another day |
|
That's why I got to be thankful yeah, yeah |
|
I gotta be thoughfful |
|
Ah ha thankful, you gotta be |
|
thoughtful |
|
From my ankle to the top of my head |
|
I've taken my chances hah, I could have been dead |
|
I started climbing from the bottom oh yeah |
|
All the way to the top ah huh |
|
Before I knew it-I was up there |
|
You believe it or not |
|
Thankful thoughfful |
|
Oh something gets me, hah, put my head on tight |
|
Because I know the future everything'll be all right |
|
Until then I'll kick back and let the light shine |
|
Remember all yours coulda been all mine |
|
That's why you ought to be thankful |
|
Hah, hah, you ought to be thoughfful |
|
Middle of stream, hah, I had to change my stroke |
|
I say I put it on the good foot And it ain't no joke |
|
They said I was dyin' I didn't want to go |
|
I kept on feelin' I had to live some more |
|
I had somethin' to tell y'all |
|
To be thankful you oughta be thoughfful |
|
Still rectifying, straightening things out |
|
I know what a good feelin' you're never in doubt |
|
Sometimes I'm by myself- feelin' alone |
|
I just look around and check it out And then it's all gone |
|
I'm still happy to be here |
|
Thankful you oughta be thoughfful |
