Thankful (feat. Michael McDonald) Lyrics


Someone's standing in a welfare line
Or off the freeway with a hungry sign
Someone's stressing 'bout to lose their mind
I gotta be thankful, thankfulSomeone just became a single mother
Someone just lost a sister or brother
It's so important that we love each other
And be thankful, thankfulI've gotta take the time to say
That I'm thankful, thankful
For every single breath that I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankfulSomeone's sitting in a prison cell
Wasting away in their own personal hell
Everybody's got their own story to tell
I've gotta be thankful, thankful
Man, I used to think I didn't have a lot
Now I realize just how much I've got
Now every day I'm gonna take the time
And stop to be thankful, thankfulGotta take the time to say now
That I'm wanna be thankful, thankful

For every little breath that I take
I've gotta be thankful, thankfulAnyone of these so easily
Could have been me
And if it had not been for grace and mercy
Who knows where I'd be?I've been riding on this roller coaster ride
Round and round I've seen the up and downside
And I'm here to tell you that the secret of life
Is being thankful, thankful
I've gotta take the time to say
I'm so very thankful, thankful
For every little breath that I take
Lord you know I'm thankful, thankfulThankful, thankful
Thankful, thankful
Thankful, thankfulThankful, thankful
Thankful, thankful
Thankful, thankful
Thankful, thankful

Jonny Lang (born Jon Gordon Langseth, Jr. in Fargo, North Dakota, January 29, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American blues and gospel singer.

In 1995 (at the age of 14) his first album, Smokin’ by Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang was released. As a result of the LP becoming a regional hit, a major-label bidding war ensued that culminated in Lang signing to A&M Records in 1996. In 1997 (at the age of 15) his major-label debut, Lie to Me, was released to mixed reviews.

Part of his success is due to a voice that sounds like that of 40 year-old blues veteran, containing a harshness tempered by a fine falsetto that has taken prominence in his newest albums. Another part of his success is his scorching, electrifying guitar solos, which display a prodigious natural talent honed by years of practice and playing. Whatever the secret to his success, the youngster has quickly become a fixture in the blues world, drawing crowds wherever he goes.

Lang has drawn deeply from the wellspring of influences from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Luther Allison, and Albert Collins. As he becomes more confident in his role as a veteran instead of a boy wonder, one can see the possibilities he has yet to share with his fans.
