Verse 1: I wake up everyday and soak up the sun I thank the man upstairs for everything he's done I've got clothes on my back, shoes on my feet A family that loves me and friends so sweet Some people take for granted all they have They don't appreciate or give thanks They always want more and more Never satisfied, always complaining They forget the little things that count Like a roof over their heads and a warm bed They forget the people who love and care Taking them for granted, it's not fair Chorus: Ungrateful people, you know who you are Always wanting, never giving Take a look around and see All the blessings that you receive Verse 2: They don't see the struggle and hard work That went into making their dreams come true They don't see the sacrifices made To provide for them day by day They only see what they want and need Ignoring the beauty that surrounds them They don't see the joy in the simple things Where happiness lies within Appreciation, it's the key to life Gratefulness, it eases the strife Don't take for granted all you've got Be thankful everyday, give thanks a lot Chorus: Ungrateful people, you know who you are Always wanting, never giving Take a look around and see All the blessings that you receive Verse 3: Life is short and time is precious Don't waste it on being ungrateful Take a moment to appreciate All the good things that come your way Don't be blind to the love and care That people offer you each day Be grateful for every breath you take And cherish every moment that comes your way I see the beauty in the simple things The chirping of birds, the joy that it brings I appreciate the people who make me smile Who light up my life and make it worthwhile Chorus: Ungrateful people, you know who you are Always wanting, never giving Take a look around and see All the blessings that you receive Bridge: Life is a gift, one we should cherish Be thankful for the good and the bad, and don't perish Give thanks for the journey, and the lessons it brings Appreciation is the song that our soul sings Outro: Be thankful for the life you live And the people who make it worth living Don't take it for granted, it's a gift Gratitude is the key to happiness. Chorus: Appreciation, it's the key to life Gratefulness, it eases the strife Don't take for granted all you've got Be thankful everyday, give thanks a lot
