Today I woke up grateful
Because I'm alive, I breathe, I have hands and I write
Grateful because God blessed me with a son
And He told me, 'Keep your course steady'
Grateful for my mother, my father, my loved ones
My aunt, my uncles, my girl cousins, my boy cousins
Grateful because I have friends
And I learned to be fair even with my enemies
Grateful because I learned to be good
Even with the one whose heart is full of poison
Grateful because I have fallen, I've been able to get up
I've cried and I've laughed
Grateful because I have dreams and I follow my dreams
Grateful because there's light in everything I say, yes, grateful
I have nothing left but to give thanks
Even though everything changed, you've always been faithful
Your hand guided me and protected me from evil
It was you who sailed my boat on the open sea
Grateful to the mother of my children
Grateful for those roads
That I've walked, thanks to them I've understood
And I've learned to get up every day grateful
Grateful because I recognize the truth
And even if I hide from it, I'm going to know where it is
Grateful because things are the way they are
Even if they want to paint them another color for me
Grateful because I became God's friend
And if I die, I die knowing what it is to be alive
Grateful because I've learned to dress myself in sound
To enter through your ears
Grateful with my campfire in the hut
Grateful, I know the path to the river
And I stay without detour
I have nothing left but to give thanks
Even though everything changed, you've always been faithful
Your hand guided me and protected me from evil
It was you who sailed my boat on the open sea
Grateful for my fans
Grateful for everything that has hurt
Grateful for everything I've learned
Grateful because I breathe and I get inspired
By the color of my heart and its beats
Grateful because I'm convinced that even if I retire, I'll never expire
I have nothing left but to give thanks
Even though everything changed, you've always been faithful
Your hand guided me and protected me from evil
It was you who sailed my boat on the open sea
I have nothing left but to give thanks
