there's so much to be thankful for


So I, of course, have been enjoying the chance to listen to Christmas music. This season is the first season I have owned Josh Groban's "Noel" CD. Amaaazing. This is my favorite song. It's called "Thankful" and I think it is appropriate for the holiday season. Enjoy the lyrics! (You should listen to it too.. its absolutely beautiful. Gives me chills every time).


"Some days we forget to look around us.
Some days we can't see the joy that surrounds us.
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.

It's up to us to be the change.
And even though we all can still do more--
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves, there's so much sorrow.
It's way too late to say I'll cry tomorrow.
Each of us must find our truth.
We're so long overdue.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.

It's up to us to be the change.
And even though we all can still do more--
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected.
Each of us can find each other's love.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.

It's up to us to be the change.
And even though the world needs so much more,
There's so much to be thankful for."
