Be Grateful”

Song lyrics on a Charlie Pride Album

Things most of us take for granted.

Blind man can't see flowers growing in the garden
Crippled man can't walk places where he wants to go
A man that can't talk, things he will never say
And a man that can't hear, words he will never know

So if you can see and if you can walk
If you can hear and if you can talk
Then be grateful be grateful for what you've got
Cause for some folks these things would mean a lot

I once heard a man say all he wanted out of life was money
To be the richest man have wealth and fame untold
But he could see, he could walk, he could hear and he could talk
And for some folks this would mean much more than gold

So if you can see and if you can walk
If you can hear and if you can talk
Then be grateful, be grateful for what you've got
Cause for some folks these things would mean a lot

So if you can see and if you can walk
If you can hear and if you can talk
Then be grateful, be grateful for what you've got
Cause for some folks these things would mean a lot
Cause for some folks these things would mean a lot
