Story Behind The Song

True life experience

Song Description

A song about the journey from resentment to gratitude

Lyrics

Footloose and free
This life I lead
One hand out to those I greet
And one hand on the door

But what do I own?
I hear you intone
Where is the security
Of someplace to call home?

But I'm grateful

I'll have you know
It wasn't always so
Used to curse the name
Of any other's light that showed

But grief wears thin
Behind it's beggar's grin
Kicked down every door I closed
And I'm not gonna go back in

Because I'm grateful

Grateful for the sun and air
Grateful for the ones who care
Grateful that you took my hand
Grateful that I understand
Grateful for the lessons learned
Grateful for the times I've burned
Grateful as I draw each breath
Grateful as I face my death
I'm grateful
