Verse1

I used to chase the distant stars, forgetting what was near

Locked behind metaphorical bars, consumed by doubt and fear

But now I see the light within, a truth I understand

That happiness must first begin, with gratitude in hand

Chorus

For laughter shared, and tears that fall, for lessons learned with grace

Gratitude embraces all, in this sacred place

The beauty of a blooming rose, the comfort of a friend

The gentle way that life unfolds, until the very end

Verse2

It's easy to forget, sometimes, the blessings all around

To focus on the uphill climbs, and barely hear a sound

But when I pause and truly see, the magic in the small

Gratitude sets my spirit free, answering freedom's call

Chorus

For laughter shared, and tears that fall, for lessons learned with grace

Gratitude embraces all, in this sacred place

The beauty of a blooming rose, the comfort of a friend

The gentle way that life unfolds, until the very end
