Thankful

I’m thankful.
I’m full of thanks for you
and for the life that you lead.

I raise a glass to you
you deserve it.
Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
I raise my nectar
to the one who embraces it.
I raise my glass to you.

As the ships travel the sea
As the train meets the track
As the car releases the brake
I bring forth grace to you.
It doesn’t matter what you have you done,
No not tonight, not here.
The world keeps moving tonight.

I stand for you, and look you in the eye
“I am thankful you exist”
“That your presence lingers in my thoughts”
“I am thankful you breathe”
This joyous occasion was made for this
I am just catching up
Because today you know I mean it.

As the rain falls onto the pavement
As tornados strike the earth
As snow falls on trees
I bring forth my heart to you
It doesn’t matter why you came
No not tonight, not here
The world welcomes strangers tonight.

In honor, and glass
Nectar and eye
I am thankful for you
I am thankful you were born.
