Chorus:
Be grateful.
Be grateful.

Verse 1:
God has not promised me sunshine,
that's not the way it's going to be;
but a little rain mixed with God's sunshine,
a little pain makes me appreciate the good times.

Chorus

Verse 2:
God desires to fill your longings,
every pain that you feel,
He feels them, just like you;
but He can't afford to let you feel only good,
(then you can't appreciate the good times).

Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes).

Vamp:
Be grateful, be grateful.
(repeat as desired)

for it will be alright...

Vamp 2:
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright

Ending:
For it will be al...
be grateful.
