Lyrics
Wake up with the sunrise Bread upon the plate Roof above my head I will not hesitate Give thanks, give thanks For the little and the long Give thanks, give thanks Lift it up in song Thank you to the neighbour Thank you to the friend Thank you to the hands That help me to the end Give thanks, give thanks For the little and the long Give thanks, give thanks Lift it up in song Count it one by one Every blessing, every one Morning has begun Give thanks, everyone Water in the well Work to do today Family at the table Thankful, I will say Give thanks, give thanks For the little and the long Give thanks, give thanks Lift it up in song Give thanks Lift it up in song
