EVAN - Thankful

Oh my, this has been a year of confusion
From guns to terrorist attacks, and college choosing
No lines to distinguish, reality and illusion
As a country and a race, it feels like we're losing

Let me seize the growth of this forming rift
When everything good seems adrift
It's merely a sign that points to a better future
And of all the things that happened tonight
Istanbul, Paris, Black Lives
When the world is wounded, it's on us to become its sutures

Dear world
I love you
I'm aware of all the things, you've been through
Hold on
We're here to help you
Spread some love, change some hearts, and come on thru

High school is gone, the line has been drawn
Though it feels like the end, it's really a dawn
Where I have been, and where I will go
To halfway around the world and into a dream and back
Home

I can barely comprehend
Even a concept of the end
My life has just become an exciting existence
If everything falls apart
The only thing that* you can do is start
It's up to us to breed love in our perceptions

Lord, ohh
What I'd do
For You, my daddy, mom and sis
My Lord
I'd give my life to
Have a time, and live a life, just like this

You have no idea how overjoyed I am
To have such a mom, dad, sister and a holy Lamb
I know very few people deserving as much
From me as you
And since I can't pay you back, I'll just make my dreams come true

When I
Find the right tools
There's not a thing that I can't do
And I
I wanna hug you
Because I'm thankful for what you do

How can we insist on a belief
That when strife is found, all is lost
When everything points to a better future
