Verse 1 written by Rex Smallboy

Woke up this morning said thank you God
Thank you for letting me see this day
I feel blessed in your presence just being alive
To witness the wonders that you have made
I give you thanks for the gifts of life and love
For my wife and son for the powwow drum
For this land I see for this air I breath
I thank you Grandfather for the sky and see
For my time of need for the strong and weak
For the thing I fear and for the times I dream
For my friends in life and for the ones who teach
I’m thankful grandfather for the gift of speech

Chorus x2
Woke up this morning said thank you God
Thank you God, thank you God

Verse 2 written by Cynthia Smallboy

We used to praise the living sun
We knew her days seen no rest
Underneath the gracious moon
While our tired bodies slept
Destiny came to pass
Now were living what is left
I want to thank you for the struggles
And I’m humbled by each breath
I want thank you for the takers
Know they showed me how to give
I want to thank you for my losses
To appreciate my wins
Thank you for death
Designed to show me how to live
I’m thankful I am weak
Ever humbled by your strength
Thankful I was poor
Ever rich with out bank
Thankful when I’m down
You’re my old and dearest friend
Thankful when I’m bad
You see good lies with
Thankful I had no dad
You and mom was all I’d need
And still you’re ever giving
Give me love and our seed
Lastly I want to thank you
Cause your love is all we need

Chorus x 2

Verse 3 written by Thane Saddleback

Yo I’m thank for God giving me this life
And giving life to my son and my wife
I ‘m for the simple fact that we’re living
Positivity we’re bringing
Yo I’m thanking our forefathers
For their decisions my people listen
Every day families are dissen
But still I’m thankful cause I know
We all could change our positions
Keep our traditions flowing strong
The nations will listen
So be thankful don’t take life for granted
Go find what you’re missing
Yo the knowledge and courage is what you’re hitting
For real now listen
I’m thankful cause I was giving a mission
God bless me with War Party
And we’ll land with precession
That’s fact not fiction
So understand it because you got to be thankful
Find your life’s ambition then your reach is with in
Everything’s that’s worth living for
That’s why I’m thanking my moms and my dad
Xsey mon to for everything that I have
So if you ask me why I’m glad I’ll say because I’m thankful

Outro written by Jeremy Lightning

To just simply be thankful for what we have in life is a giving
So many of us take that for granted
I mean being in a dirt bike accident almost losing my leg
And still not having the full use of it now today
You know there is so many healthy people out there with two legs
But their, their not walking their not going anyplace in life you know
To just be thankful you know
So many of them aren’t, I just can’t believe that
