I Watched The Sun Come Up Today

I watched the sun come up today,

Felt like I had to pray,

Thanked God for the blessings in my life,

Thought about the world I’m living in,

About how fortunate I have been,

Six kids and a faithful, loving wife,

There are those who’ll never know,

What it’s like to have a home,

Where love’s like a velvet robe,

Keeps you safe and cozy,

I watched the sun come up today,

I felt its kiss upon my face,

Bathed in the moment for awhile,

I soaked up the sounds of spring,

Paid attention to the little things,

The little things that make this life worthwhile,

There are those who’ll never know,

What it’s like to smell a rose,

Or hear a river as it flows,

And feel the mud between their toes,

I watched the sun come up today,

Solo

There are those who’ll never know,

What its like to have the hope,

Where freedom is a life rope,

That keeps the spirit glowing,

Just started thinking about how good I really have it.
