Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a weight upon my chest
Overcome with all the reasons my soul can’t be at rest
I take a breath and tell myself it’s going to be ok
I’ve made it through this far odds are I’ll make it through today.
I’ve got to be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
If life’s getting too complicated you’ve got to keep it simple
It’s never going to be perfect oh but it’s so beautiful
So be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
There’s days you can’t help wishing things were different than what they are
Like when I turn the ignition and that old used car won’t start
Had to knock on my neighbor’s to ask him for a jump
He said brother anytime, been too long since we caught up
Be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
If life’s getting too complicated you’ve got to keep it simple
It’s never going to be perfect oh but it’s so beautiful
So be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
I ain’t saying there’s nothing wrong with chasing dreams
Just saying you’ll never find happiness in the future or in things
‘Cause if we’re always thinking about all the things we want
Ain’t we really thinking about all the stuff that we ain’t got?
Sometimes you just gotta stop and…
Be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
If life’s getting too complicated you’ve got to keep it simple
It’s never going to be perfect oh but it’s so beautiful
So be grateful, stay humble, have fun, and love people
