Roger Street Friedman - Thankful For This Day

there's a sparkle in your eye
there's a world outside this door
and I know that by and by
all birds must fly
and you won't stay here anymore
and when you wake up on that morning
before you pack the car and roll away
when your brand-new day is dawning
I hope that you will say

I am thankful for this day
for the love that fills my heart
for two feet to make a start
I am thankful for this day

you were always a beginner
may you find your true north star
and if you're losing or your winning
cry or grin
always be true to who you are
and when you wake up on that morning
looking out some window new and strange
when you greet the life that's forming
I hope that you will say

I am thankful for this day
for the blue that fills the skies
for all I've yet to see
for every hope and every dream
I am thankful for this day

I hope that you will say

I am thankful for this day
for the love my family gave
for the sacrifices made
I am thankful for this day
for the town where I was born
for the heart that's young and strong
for the road that leads me on
and the one that brings me home
I am thankful for this day

and I want you to know...

I am thankful for this day
and the day you came along
and every day since you were born
I woke up to say
I am thankful for this day
