Give Thanks - Manaka

Wake up in the morning, and I rise to my feet

Stretch way up high like a tree

Fall back down on my knees

And give thanks for what I see

I see the bluebird sky way up high

For the sun watching over me

A pretty little bird singing a song

And a flower unfolding

I give thanks for everyday, and what I have

And what I have received

My eyes have opened up and realized

There’s no need for greed

So everyday I will grow stronger and wiser knowing we are one

We are the same soul

Rise up to the spirit of the song

Give thanks and praises everyday

And everyday we will grow stronger and wiser knowing we are one

We are the same soul

Rise up to the spirit of the song

Give thanks and praises everyday

In every way

Relax in the evening and I quiet my mind

Salute the setting sun

Pray for the children and all beings

Observing the stillness of the one

I see the mindnight sky, way up high

Mother Moon reflecting her glory

Infinite blessings from the gentle wind

Songs of prayer I send

I give thanks for every night and the peace it brings

It centers my heart and soul

Helps me remember the balance within

Knowing what darkness holds

So every night I will grow stronger and wiser knowing we are one

We are the same soul

Rise up to the spirit of the song

Give thanks and praises everyday

And every night we will grow stronger and wiser knowing we are one

We are the same soul

Rise up to the spirit of the song

Give thanks and praises everyday

In every way

And every day we will grow stronger and wiser knowing we are one

We are the same soul

Rise up to the spirit of the song

Give thanks and praises everyday

In every way
