lyrics

Family comes from miles around and they’re
Flying in from out of town, haven’t
Been together, oh, since God knows when.
Mama’s baking pumpkin pie and she
Looks so happy she could cry
Just to have her babies in the nest again.
And I wonder why
It’s not like this all the time.

What if we gave thanks to the ones who brought us here
For the ones that we hold dear,
For the lives that we are living.
What if we hold hands and say grace around the table
Love each other while we’re able
Live each day like a day
Of Thanksgiving.

Have we lost humility in an age of no civility
Everybody has to shout to prove they’re right
All the hateful words they use just to
Try and change your point of view
No one wins the war, but we all pay the price.
And I wonder why
We’re like this all the time.
What if we gave thanks to the ones who brought us here
For the ones that we hold dear,
For the lives that we are living.
What if we hold hands and say grace around the table
Love each other while we’re able
Live each day like a day
Of Thanksgiving.

If we could reach across the table
We’d see our hands are all the same
Brothers and Sisters in His name.

What if we gave thanks to the ones who brought us here
For the ones that we hold dear,
For the lives that we are living.
What if we hold hands and say grace around the table
Love each other while we’re able
Live each day like a day
Of Thanksgiving.

(Thank you for another chance to be
In the comfort of my loving family
Thank you to the ones who made it here, and we’re
Glad we made it through another year.
We should learn to love the world the way that we
Love each other on Thanksgiving Day)
