Templeton Thompson Wake Up Grateful lyrics

Everyday i count my blessins'
I'm just so glad to be alive

I do my best to learn my lessons
`cause i don't think we get to do this twice
This thing called life
This thing called life

Cup a coffee on my back porch
I sit and watch a new day dawn
I don't take one thing for granted
`Cause this don't last for very long
This thing called life
This thing called life

And now everyday, everyday
I wake up grateful
It's a choice i make, everyday
To keep it simple
And when come what may tries to shake my faith
At the end of the day i give it away
And lay my head down

And i wake up grateful

I know pain's a part a livin'
But it don't scare me like it did
You see i used to have this fear of failin'
But now i take a breath and dive right in
This thing called life
This thing called life

And now everyday, everyday
I wake up grateful
It's a choice i make, everyday
To keep it simple
And when come what may tries to shake my faith
At the end of the day i give it away
And lay my head down
And i wake up grateful
Yeah I wake up grateful
