If it weren't for kids have you ever thought There wouldn't be no Santa Claus Or look what the stork just brought Thank God for kids. We'd all live in a quiet house Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse And Kool Aid on the couch Thank God for kids. Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile. Do you ever stop to think or wonder why The nearest thing to heaven is a child? Daddy, how does this thing fly? And a hundred other wheres and whys I really don't know but I try Thank God for kids. When I look down in those trusting eyes That look to me I realize There's love that I can't buy Thank God for kids. Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile. Do you ever stop to think or wonder why The nearest thing to heaven is a child? When you get down on your knees tonight And thank the Lord for His guiding light Pray they turn out right. Thank God for kids. Mmm, Thank God for kids.
