Gratitude

Hey, Raappanaman
How's it going?
Hello hello! What's up, Jukka?
It's been a long day but
I still have patience
Yeah, I've had a lot going on as well but
let's not coplain
Let's rather make a good song, huh?
I think so!
 
Being happy is a difficult thing
The world is full of useless whining
Wants, wants, wants, but one doesn’t get what one wants
When one gets what one wants, one doesn't want it anymore
Until one day one may realize
Jah Jah remains, other things disappear
Only love floats, other things sink
Gratitude
 
It is easy to forget
That this life is not to be taken for granted
It was a close call
The road was dangerous
But we survived
It could backfire
if I
raised my head up to the clouds
or got drunk from material
and didn't appreciate the gift of life at all
 
Gratitude
I wanna see gratitude
You have to be more grateful
And every day, every night even more
Gratitude
I wanna see gratitude
You have to be more grateful
 
There's always something missing
You have to get everything possible
A material mind cannot change
But I thank the one who is to be thanked
Thank you, I say "Thank you, Jah"
Thank you, I say "Thank you, Jah"
Gratitude
I want some gratitude
You have to be more grateful
And every day, every night even more
 
And why do we people complain about meaningless things
Even when we know conditions elsewhere
And we're not suffering from lack of food
They're throwing it away, it's like a murder
You can't die of grief from bankruptcy
That cannot mislead you from your course
No-o
 
Even though everything is not perfect
Just lemonade and confetti
Sometimes it's good to take some perspective
To broaden your view
And when you see the world
Wide and cruel even, maybe you'll notice:
There's a lot that's taken for granted
I'm starting to realize it too
little byt little
 
I've been blessed since I was a baby
I was my mother's blessed burden
Well, it's Jukka poika and Raappana
Chief Kana playing the saxophone, here comes raw
 
Gratitude
I wanna see gratitude
Little more gratitude
To my heart and where ever I go
You have to be more grateful
And every day, every night even more
You have to be more grateful
 
Being happy is a difficult thing
The world is full of useless whining
Wants, wants, wants, but one doesn’t get what one wants
When one gets what one wants, one doesn't want it anymore
Until one day one may realize
Mhmm, Ahh, Oh, yes, yes yes…
 
Gratitude
I want some gratitude to my heart
Gratitude
Whatever I do
Where ever I go
Come on now
