An indie-pop dance anthem about gratitude and present moment awareness, produced by Lauren Nikohl.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Caught myself thinking destructive thoughts
In my car ride home today
Got me nowhere, vicious circle
Started counting all the things I have
That outweigh all the bad
Got me thinking, life is rad
Pre-Chorus:
Trees are dancing in the wind
Sun gives warm, embracing love
I am alive here
I’ve got a roof above my head
Plenty of food, and funny friends
Think I belong here
Chorus:
Grateful for this day
Tomorrow is never guaranteed, don’t forget
Even when you’re sad
There’s lots to cherish, can’t ya see?
Smell the roses, smoke some weed
Verse 2:
When a negative thought comes to your mind
Just catch yourself, rewind
See the good things, positive
We’re the observer, not our cloudy mind
So meditate and find
That this moment is so divine
Pre-Chorus:
Trees are dancing in the wind
Sun gives warm, embracing love
I am alive here
I’ve got a roof over my head
Plenty of food, and funny friends
Think I belong here
Chorus:
Grateful for this day
Tomorrow is never guaranteed, don’t forget
Even when you’re mad
There’s lots to cherish, can’t ya see?
Smell the roses, smoke some weed
Post Chorus:
Yeah I’m grateful for this day, so many reasons to be happy
Just so thankful for the chance to say, That I’m grateful for this day
Bridge:
Another chance to learn and play, I’m grateful for this day
Explore the woods and all the lakes, I’m grateful for this day
Laugh at all the things we say, oh I’m grateful for this day, yeah I’m grateful, grateful, grateful for this day
Remove anxiety, know everything’s okay, just appreciate!
CHORUS
Post Chorus:
Yeah I’m grateful for this day, so many reasons to be happy
Just so thankful for the chance to say
That I’m grateful for this day, just so thankful for this day.
