Testo Grateful

Footloose and free
This life I lead
One hand out to those I greet
And one hand on the door

But what do I own
I hear you intone
Where is the security Of someplace to call home?

But I'm grateful

I'll have you know
It wasn't always so
Used to curse the name
Of every other's light that shown

But grief wears thin
Behind its' beggards grin
Kicked down every doo I closed
And I'm not gonna go back in

Cause I'm grateful
Grateful for the sun and air
Grateful for the ones who care
Grateful that you took my hand
Grateful that I understand

Grateful for the lessons learned
Grateful for the times I burned
Grateful as I draw each breath
Grateful as I face my death

I'm grateful
