Song Description

Gratitude

Lyrics

A day in December
The sun on my face
In the middle of motion
One quiet place
At the center of strangers
A meeting of souls
an embrace that is treasured
Wherever I go

When I struggle in shadow
There are voices that come
Whisper so low: Oh, you know
You're a fortunate one.
Then I gather my blessings
From the light and the dark
Welcome them into my grateful heart

The blue of the moonlight
All the heavens contain
The madness of music
Helps keep me sane
At the core of confusion
A small flame that glows
There then to guide me
Wherever I go

Slighting the spirit
My feelings go numb
Then it comes like a kiss: Remember this
You're a fortunate one
Then I gather my blessings
From the light and the dark
Ask them to stay in my grateful heart

A day that's remembered
In a small, sacred space
Walking toward balance
Praying for grace
Gather my blessings
Like the gifts that they are
Place them quite gently in my grateful heart
