Be Grateful

The other day I called myself complaining
 Now my boss has got me working over time
 Then the stranger who was sitting there beside me
 Said, I spent all day in the unemployment
 Are there open shifts, are they hiring on
 I'll work any hours even all night long
 If you could put a good word in for me
 Everytime you think you got it bad
 You can find someone who's got it worse
 All the things you take for granted now
 They started out as blessings first
 If you got someone who loves you
 And a steady job that puts food on the table
 If you're strong and able
 Man, be grateful
 We complain about how much it's gonna cost us
 To feel our 20 something thousand dollars cars
 And living in the land of milk and honey
 It's so easy to forget how lucky we are
 We can work hard and buy a patch of dirt
 And on sunday morning we can go to church
 And pray for those who don't have it as good as you
 Everytime you think you got it bad
 You can find someone who's got it worse
 All the things you take for granted now
 They started out as blessings first
 If you got someone who loves you
 And a steady job that puts food on the table
 If you're strong and able
 Man, be grateful
 Yeah I'm grateful
 Oh man, be graaaaaaateefuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
