Grateful - Lori McKenna

The kids are in their Christmas clothes

Clip on ties, we’re driving to church

Where I’ll watch the old women sing along

Praising the good Lord for his good work

Mother Mary’s holding out her arms

I wish I could rush into them

Underneath her solemn look there’s a smile

Now that it’s Christmas time again

All the faith that I’ve been given

I’ll admit some of it’s been lost on me

But there isn’t one ungrateful bone in my body

I’ve said goodbye to some good friends

That I still miss every day

And I don’t know why it’s made to end

I guess it has to be that way

There’s been blessings and crooked roads

I’ve made mistakes that I regret

But I’ve held dreams in my own hands

Too big to dream in my own head

And all the love that I’ve been given

Wish I could return tenfold at least

Cause there isn’t one ungrateful bone in my body

Maybe in some other life, I passed some kind of test

Maybe that’s how it’s all justified, how lucky someone gets

So, in this life that I’ve been given

Hope I get close to who I’m supposed to be

Cause, there isn’t one ungrateful bone in my body

There isn’t one ungrateful bone in my body
