Gratitude © Words and Music by Chris Chickering and Greg Barnhill 2013. All rights reserved You slam your finger in the door But does it hurt now anymore Than your broken heart When she said she didn't love you anymore I bet a bee sting probably hurts But I know a snake bite's ten times worse And if one bit you, hey I bet you'd know the difference right away So be thankful for It's just a nick and not much more Cause nothin' is anything until You hold it up to something else I know the traffic’s just a bore But it beats walkin' that's for sure When it's ten below and you're wavin' down Some stranger you don't know So get some perspective here What seems so severe Depends on what you compare it to Let's have a little gratitude Chorus: And just be thankful for You got a motor And four doors Cause nothin’ is anything until You hold it up to something else Don't sweat a bad hair day Cause after all, you could be bald A paper cut on your tongue’s No reason to call 911 So just be thankful for You got a shot At one day more Cause nothin' is anything until You hold it up to something else Woah…oh... You hold it up to something else Woah…oh... Be glad that it isn't something else
