My Thanksgiving

For every breath, for every day of living

And have you noticed that an angry man

And I don't mind saying that I, I still love it all
Now, I'm welcoming the fall
Now, the trouble with you and me, my friend

Some of them ain't no joke
For everyone who helped me start
In learning how to give love, how to receive it
And I trust you will forgive me
For every breath, for every day of living
For every breath, for every day of living
And this is my thanksgiving
For every breath, for every day of living
And I know that kind of notion, well, it just ain't cool
'Cause I've got great expectations, I've got family and friends
And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege
And for everything that broke my heart
Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive
So send me back to Sunday school
I've got satisfying work, I've got a back that bends
I wallowed in the springtime
Some of them are funny
And sometimes I think about you
For every moment of joy, every hour of fear
For every winding road that brought me here

This is my thanksgiving

And it's too long we've been living these unexamined lives
I always thought you were a friend of mine

And what you're going through
Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge
Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be
If I lay it on the line
Here in this fragmented world, I still believe

Is the trouble with this nation
With the way things are
Too many blessings, too little appreciation
This is my thanksgiving
I wonder how you're doing, now
'Cause the last time I saw you, we were playing with fire

Can only get so far?

We were loaded with passion and a burning desire
