paroles de chanson Be Thankful - Mike Love

Be thankful
For whatever you got
'Cause you got to be sure,
To be sure that youre not-
Ungrateful, 'cause this life is a gift
And the more you receive
Should be the more that you give

Because so many contemplate
Whether their cup is half empty,
Or their cup is half full
Its just a bunch of bullshit
Be thankful, Ahhhh lord yah
Be thankful- Jah Lorddd!

Oh lord ahh
Hey my brother,
Why you wearing that frown?
Has the system been teaching you-
Beating and holding you down?
OH lord oh, You've lost sight of
Everything that you stood for
And now youre caught up
In the glamour and they've
Got you wanting more

Now the illusionist, hypnotist, pile of tricks
They got you on a puppet string
Handling, it makes me sick,
Just to see how long its been
We've been held gathered as
Prisoners of our very own skin
But listen up my brethren
Because my friend!
Just when you doubt things could get no worse
Remember the last shall be the first

So be thankful, for whatever ya got
"Cause you got to be sure,
To be sure that you're not-
Ungrateful, 'cause this life is a gift
So the more you receive
Should be the more that you give

Hey now sister, you got no mister
You think its the end of the world
But you're a charming and intelligent,
Graceful and independant, young and
Beautiful girl
But you're searching for that validation
Get stuck up in my relations, over and over again, and you just cant see that when
You give love to so many men there's
Nothing left for yourself or your friends
Oh no, no!!

But don't you fear, jah love is near
To lift you up, and to make things clear
To hold you close, and to hold your hand
To heal your heart, and help you
Overstand, to show you and assure,
That you are much more, than this
Whole world, has made you bargain for
So talk to talk her, the most high Jah
A mother, sister, lover,
Oh, oh, Ohhh!

Hoo- Jah!

This life is just a series of steps
Some forward, some backward
But then we confuse, when you lose-
Your life moves forward
Remember the past only lasted
When you were living for today
'Cause the moment you live in
Regret is the moment
You let your future slip away
So Be Here Now,
Dont fight the river flow no,
No Be Here Now,
You don't wanna miss the big shore Lord
No, Be Here Now,
There be no better place to be
So Be Here Now,
'Cause what will be will be...

So Be Here Now,
Dont spend all of your days
With your head in the clouds
Be Here Now
'Cause its so hard to watch the sunset
With a heart full of regret
Wondering if the best is yet to come
So Be Here Now,
'Cause who knows what
Tomorrow will bring anyhow
Be Here Now,
To watch all of these moments pass
Stuck behind the looking glass,
Wondering what the fates will allow

Be thankful
For whatever you got
'Cause you got to be sure,
To be sure that youre not-
Ungrateful, 'cause this life is a gift
And the more you receive
Should be the more that you give

Because so many contemplate
Whether their cup is half empty,
Or their cup is half full
Its just a bunch of bullshit
Be thankful, lord yah
Be thankful- Jah Lorddd!
