Take time to give thanks, make time to be giving I'm gonna stop and think twice about the way that I'm living Did I say a kind word, am I proud of my actions You know a job well done gives me satisfaction Can I earn your trust, your love and affection Just one step at a time in the right direction I'm gonna aim for the sky, keep my feet on the ground Raise my voice to the heavens, make a joyful sound Na na na na na na na na Make a joyful sound Can I sing for my supper and play for my rent? I know it sounds funny but it's how my time's spent Greet everyday with full purpose, with passion and pride I'm gonna follow my heart, have nothing to hide A moment of insight; I know why I'm here You know, the time just stopped, I see it all real clear I've got to set an example, make some mischief and fun Do unto others and play a fat bass run I gotta work hard every day and give it my best Grab hold of fear and negativity and lay 'em to rest I know my time here's important, can I do the right thing? Practice patience and forgiveness, feel the joy that they bring Can I lay down tonight without feeling regret? I know the love that I give becomes the love that I get Well do you hear what I'm saying, makin' sense to you? If you feel it in your heart then you'll wanna sing too I don't want to sound preachy, make it feel all wrong Just want to write some kind of lyrics, sing a feel-good song It's kind of hard to explain, it's just a feeling I get From makin' music, makin' love, gettin' both feet wet Every piece to the puzzle snaps tight in the groove I close my eyes, breathe deeply and let my feet move You know I feel a little better now for speaking my mind Good vibes and circulation, see who they find
