Granted

Always, always, ever thankful
Never lacking saving grace
Though these times are tough and painful
Never a need for saving face

It's new, but we're tough
For you, I am strong
We knew it'd be rough
Keep singing your song

Never, never, ever hateful
Pride hardens the heavy heart
In spite of pain, be ever grateful
Wrath will tear the mind apart

For you, I am thankful
Don't forget, I am here
Let me fight our battles
Never stray, never fear

Always, always fed and sheltered
Never lacking bed or plate
Tired, stressed, but ever faithful
I fight for us through dire straits

Show a smile, look around you
We've got what we need
Worry not, it will drown you
Keep up close, I will lead

It's alright, We'll be fine
Take my hand, hold me tight
I'm off to work every morning
So you'll sleep well every night
