I'm Grateful Video (MV)

I met a man a while ago I hadn't seen for a long, long time
Ever since our childhood days, he was a pal of mine
He mentioned life had not been good to him along the way
But he'd tell me all about it when we'd meet another day

He said I hear your songs on the radio, they play you all the time
And if there's folks around I'd say "there goes a pal of mine"
But it seems that things have worked out well and you have made it through
But away from the glare of the bright spotlight, tell me how are you?

I said I'm grateful that I've been doing what I love and singing for so long
And grateful too, to folks like you who listen to my songs
I never had to emigrate or stand on a strangers floor
I'm grateful in my heart forever more

We're all dealt a hand of cards that shape our destiny
And I've turned up an ace or two for life's been good to me
But you never know what's around the bend, take one day at a time
You can't be always someone else, the sun won't always shine

But I'm grateful that I've been doing what I love and singing for so long
Grateful too for folks like you who listen to my songs
I never had to emigrate or stand on a strangers floor
I'm grateful in my heart forever more
Yes I'm grateful in my heart forever more
