Thanksgiving Song
Mary Chapin Carpenter
[Verse 1]
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table
From far and near we travel home
Blessed that we are able
[Verse 2]
Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window
Saying "welcome, welcome, share this feast
Come in away from sorrow."
[Chorus]
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend and friendless;
All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness
[Verse 3]
Grateful for what's understood
And all that is forgiven;
We try so hard to be good
To lead a life worth living
[Chorus]
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend, and friendless;
All together everyone, let grateful days be endless
[Outro]
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table
