The world is good to me.

THANKS A LOT by Raffi
Thanks a lot, thanks for the sun in the sky.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the clouds so high.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the whispering wind.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the birds in the spring.
Thanks for the animals, thanks for the moonlit night.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the stars so bright.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the wonder in me.
Thanks a lot, thanks for the way I feel.
Thanks for the animals, thanks for the land,
Thanks for the people everywhere.
Thanks a lot, thanks for all I’ve got. Thanks for all I’ve got.
I AM THANKFUL
I am thankful, yes I am,
For the sky, the sea, the land,
For my family, everyone,
For the ocean and the sun.
I am thankful, yes I am,
For the sky, the sea, the land.
TO GIVE THANKS
I thank the earth beneath me, for there I stand and walk.
I thank the air around me, which helps me breathe and talk.
I thank the sun so warm and bright.
I thank the stars that shine all night,
So far away in Heaven’s height,
To keep me safe till morning light.
