about

This song by-passed my reason and thoughts, and came straight from my heart and soul to my fingers as I sat at the piano. Writing this change I connect to gratitude. My hope is that in listening, it will do the same for you.

It may be called "Thanksgiving Prayer," but this song is truly a prayer for every single day.

lyrics

I spend the morning in the kitchen
Drinking coffee, waiting for sunrise
An icy rain is falling, but in my kitchen I am warm and dry

And I know this glow I feel inside me
Could just as easily be dread
And I know my good fortune could be misery instead, so

Thank you for all I’ve received
Help me to be all I need to be
And for all the times I haven’t been there
Forgive me. Forgive me.
This is my thanksgiving prayer

I’ve been living for tomorrow
and wasted far too many years
slow to learn the lesson
that nothing is better than right now, right here, so

Thank you for all I’ve received
Help me to be all I need to be
And for all the times I haven’t been there
Forgive me. Forgive me.
This is my thanksgiving prayer

Life flies by- it’s the blink of an eye
I try to get in its way
I’d like to slow it down for just one day, to say

Thank you for all I’ve received
Help me to be all I need to be
And for all the times I haven’t been there
Forgive me. Forgive me.
This is my thanksgiving prayer
