VERSE 1 I thank God no one told me that it couldn't be done. I thank God no one told me learning new things wasn't fun I thank God no one told me parts of me were missin' If they did I thank God I didn't listen.
VERSE 2 I thank God no one said I couldn't follow my dreams I thank God no one said it can't be strawberries and cream. I thank God no one said I shouldn't show my spirit. If they did I thank God I didn't hear it.
CHORUS No one told me I had to be perfect. No one told me my best was not enough. I thank God no one said I shouldn't even try it. If they did I thank God I didn't buy it.
VERSE 1
CHORUS
CODA I thank God that I'm the kind of person* that I am today. Thanks to all of those things all those people didn't say!
* originally "woman"
