Thank you for being where all these years went.
Happiness comes from the people we are.
All we believe in and value is here,
Nearby our hearts with the door still ajar.
Knowledge is wealth that can never be spent.

Years from now, searching somewhere for a star,
Our skies full of diamonds, each in each blent,
Unknowing, in you we will find what is clear.

Thank you for listening,
Hearing me out.
All my sad sorrow
Needed, no doubt,
Kindness and sharing.
Yours the love strong,
Open and caring,
Under my song.

Thank you for the gift of life,
For letting me be me,
For all that I can know by words
And all that I can see,

For all the music I can hear
And all the songs I sing,
For all the joy that comes to me
And all the joy I bring,

For all the food that I can taste
And all the sweet scents smell,
For all the loved ones I can touch,
Who love and wish me well,

For all the beauty of the world,
Ever fresh and new,
I don’t know who else I can thank,
And so I’m thanking you.
