A positive romp. I have changed the lyrics slightly since recording this.

John Kerslake. Singer, songwriter from Sunshine Coast. Always been aware of the magical qualities of music and try to create the same.
It's just me at the moment. I've been writing and performing my own music for about twenty years now with increasing intensity. Sometimes I get lost in the cause in my lyrics, wishing I could get the message of love and peace across. Sometimes I just have fun with my songs. Sometimes I write and sing about the sadness we can experience but I always like to think there's a positive side to all in the end. I also like the attraction of fantasy and have written songs about Faeries, mermaids and even a sorcerer. I can immerse in fantasy but embed messages on life in there. Makes it fun to listen to as well.

Story behind the song
One surprising day, when contemplating my woes, I realised that if I looked at the positives I should be grateful. Singing the song makes me feel good.
Lyrics
Grateful Am I John Kerslake Grateful am I for all that I am, grateful for all that I am Grateful am I for all that I wish for I know it's already planned Which way is up, which way is down, sometimes I don't know Which way is earth, which way is home, sometimes I don't know I'd like to run forever, into the rising sun I'd like to fun together where all worlds are one Grateful am I for all that I am, grateful for all that I am Grateful am I for all that I wish for, I know it's already planned I'd like to tell you a story, I think you'd like to hear About a man in his glory, and his loss of fear I'd like to tell you a secret, but my lips are tight I'd like to give you the answers, but they're dynamite Grateful am I for all that I am, grateful for all that I am Grateful am I for all that I wish for I know it's already planned I'd like to wish you happy birthday, can your birthday be today I'd like to say congratulations, and smile a certain way And as I walked off you'd call me, and I would slowly turn My heart is bursting, yes bursting - and that is why I burn Grateful am I for all that I am, grateful for all that I am Grateful am I for all that I wish for I know it's already planned here with you.
