Don Henley - My Thanksgiving Lyrics
(don henley/stan lynch/jai winding)A lot of things have happenedSince the last time we spokeSome of them are funnySome of em aint no jokeAnd I trust you will forgive meIf I lay it on the lineI always thought you were a friend of mineSometimes I think about youI wonder how youre doing nowAnd what youre going throughThe last time I saw youWe were playing with fireWe were loaded with passionAnd a burning desireFor every breath, for every day of livingAnd this is my thanksgivingNow the trouble with you and me, my friendIs the trouble with this nationToo many blessings, too little appreciationAnd I know that kind of notionwell, it just aint coolSo send me back to sunday schoolBecause Im tired of waiting for reason to arriveIts too long weve been livingThese unexamined livesIve got great expectationsIve got family and friendsIve got satisfying workIve got a back that bendsFor every breath, for every day of livingThis is my thanksgivingHave you noticed that an angry manCan only get so farUntil he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to beWith the way things areHere in this fragmented world, I still believeIn learning how to give love, and how to receive itAnd I would not be among those who abuse this privilegeSometimes you get the best light from a burning bridgeAnd I dont mind saying that I still love it allI wallowed in the springtimeNow Im welcoming the fallFor every moment of joyEvery hour of fearFor every winding road that brought me hereFor every breath, for every day of livingThis is my thanksgivingFor everyone who helped me startAnd for everything that broke my heartFor every breath, for every day of livingThis is my thanksgiving
