Attitude of Gratitude--Lyrics
By Marshall Stern and Richard Mekdeci
CHORUSĀ
I've got an attitude,
I've got an attitude,
I've got an attitude of gratitude.
VERSE
I thank the universe
for each new day
Whether it's sunny
or it's pouring rain.
In any situation, time or place
My grateful heart
creates a state of Grace.
CHORUS
VERSE
The darkness taught me
how to praise the light.
Wrongness made me hunger
for what's right.
I haven't found a place
where I don't see
Heaven's blessings
pouring down on me.
CHORUS
VERSE
I won't be waiting
when my ship comes in,
Won't trade my "here and now"
for something "then."
I'm finding pleasure
in the simple things.
It doesn't matter
what tomorrow brings.
CHORUS
VERSE
When Jesus fed
the hungry multitude
He did it with a grateful attitude.
Although it looked like
there was not enough
He thanked His Father
for abundant love.
(can you say "yea"?...)
CHORUS
BRIDGE (rubato)
I used to cry for deliverance,
Send desperate pleas
to the heavens.
But it wasn't until I gave up
and got still,
I could see all the gifts
I've been given.
CHORUS (2x)
