If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
Look what the stork just brought, thank God for kidsWe'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And cool-aid on the couch, thank God for kidsThank 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 childDaddy, how does this thing fly?
A hundred other where's and why's
You really don't know but we try, thank God for kidsWhen you look down in those trusting eyes
That look to you, you realize
It's love that you can't buy, thank God for kidsThank 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 childWhen you get down on your knees tonight
To thank the Lord for his guiding light
And pray they turn out right, thank God for kidsThank God for kids
