Thankful by Karl Nova Lyrics

I'm thankful for my life
I'm thankful for this day
I'm so thankful for every single breath that I take
I can't take it for granted
It is all a gift of grace
Yes I've been gifted I feel lifted
I lift you up in this place
I'm so thankful for people who have helped me on my way
I'm so grateful I hope that you are hearing what I say
You made my burdens lighter
On me they did weigh
You didn't leave me helpless
Even when I pushed you away
I'm thankful for this breath
That is in my chest
And even when I curse
Somehow I'm still blessed
I'm thankful for my family even though I'm from a broken one
It taught me to be patient so that is why I am holding on
I am not entitled
Everything is a blessing
I'm a student of life
Everything is a lesson
It's not that I've been good
In fact I have been reckless
I have felt so restless
But I'm thankful 'til I'm breathless
I'm feeling so thankful
I am thankful y'all
I'm feeling so grateful
I cannot say it enough

Yes I'm thankful (Yes I'm thankful)
I'm so thankful (I'm so thankful)

For all you've done
For all you've done
I'm so thankful for all you've done


I'm thankful for my future
Even for my past
I once wanted to die
And hoped the next breath was my last
But as you see I'm still here though
Though some call me a weirdo
I'm doing what I love
For the few that hear though
And I'm thankful for you
You that took time to listen
I'm even more thankful for those
Who have caught my vision
I'm thankful for your time
And all of your support
I'm fighting the good fight
For so long I have fought
So what am I fighting for?
I'm fighting to not conform
I'm fighting to be myself
I'm fighting an inner war
Sometimes I fight to be heard
Sometimes I fight to be seen
I'm fighting to stay to stay afloat
I am fighting for my dreams
I'm thankful for the struggle
Victory is sure
All I have to do is persevere and endure
It's not that I've been good
In fact I've been reckless
I have felt so restless
But I'm thankful 'til I'm breathless
I'm feeling so thankful
I am thankful y'all
I'm feeling so grateful
I cannot say it enough

Yes I'm thankful (Yes I'm thankful)
I'm so thankful (I'm so thankful)

For all you've done
For all you've done
I'm so thankful for all you've done

{"Fragments" a poem by Marcy DePina]

I'm picking up the pieces
Fragments of my heart mind and soul
Putting them back together
Making me whole
They're in places far and near
Some are even with you my dear
On the ocean they sail back to me
From behind those places I cannot see
They roam in search of who they are
My outstretched arms gather them from afar
Come back sweet pieces who are alone
Come back to me
And welcome home
