Thank You God Written by War Party Copyright 2004 Music composed by Rex Smallboy Verse 1 written by Rex Smallboy Woke up this morning said thank you God Thank you for letting me see this day I feel blessed in your presence just being alive To witness the wonders that you have made I give you thanks for the gifts of life and love For my wife and son for the powwow drum For this land I see for this air I breath I thank you Grandfather for the sky and see For my time of need for the strong and weak For the thing I fear and for the times I dream For my friends in life and for the ones who teach I’m thankful grandfather for the gift of speech Chorus x2 Woke up this morning said thank you God Thank you God, thank you God Verse 2 written by Cynthia Smallboy We used to praise the living sun We knew her days seen no rest Underneath the gracious moon While our tired bodies slept Destiny came to pass Now were living what is left I want to thank you for the struggles And I’m humbled by each breath I want thank you for the takers Know they showed me how to give I want to thank you for my losses To appreciate my wins Thank you for death Designed to show me how to live I’m thankful I am weak Ever humbled by your strength Thankful I was poor Ever rich with out bank Thankful when I’m down You’re my old and dearest friend Thankful when I’m bad You see good lies with Thankful I had no dad You and mom was all I’d need And still you’re ever giving Give me love and our seed Lastly I want to thank you Cause your love is all we need Chorus x 2 Verse 3 written by Thane Saddleback Yo I’m thank for God giving me this life And giving life to my son and my wife I ‘m for the simple fact that we’re living Positivity we’re bringing Yo I’m thanking our forefathers For their decisions my people listen Every day families are dissen But still I’m thankful cause I know We all could change our positions Keep our traditions flowing strong The nations will listen So be thankful don’t take life for granted Go find what you’re missing Yo the knowledge and courage is what you’re hitting For real now listen I’m thankful cause I was giving a mission God bless me with War Party And we’ll land with precession That’s fact not fiction So understand it because you got to be thankful Find your life’s ambition then your reach is with in Everything’s that’s worth living for That’s why I’m thanking my moms and my dad Xsey mon to for everything that I have So if you ask me why I’m glad I’ll say because I’m thankful Outro written by Jeremy Lightning To just simply be thankful for what we have in life is a giving So many of us take that for granted I mean being in a dirt bike accident almost losing my leg And still not having the full use of it now today You know there is so many healthy people out there with two legs But their, their not walking their not going anyplace in life you know To just be thankful you know So many of them aren’t, I just can’t believe that
