Take time to give thanks, make time to be giving.
I'm going to stop and think twice about the way that I'm living.
Did I say a kind word? Am I proud of my actions?
You know, a job well done give me satisfaction.

Can I earn your trust, your love and affection?
Just one step at a time in the right direction.
Going to aim for the sky, keep my feet on the ground.
Raise my voice to the heavens, make a joyful sound!

Can I sing for my supper, and play for my rent?
I know it sounds funny, but it's how my time's spent.
Greet every day with full purpose, with passion and pride.
I'm going to follow my heart and have nothing to hide.

A moment of insight--I know why I'm here.
You know, when the time just stops I see it all real clear.
I've got to set an example, make some mischief and fun.
Do unto others and play a fat bass run.

I got to work hard every day, and give it my best.
Grab hold of fear and negativity and lay them to rest.
I know my time here's important. Can I do the right thing?
Practice patience and forgiveness, feel the joy that they bring.

Can I lay down tonight without feeling regret?
I know the love that I give becomes the love that I get.
Well, do you hear what I'm saying? Making sense to you?
Well if you feel it in your heart then you'll want to sing too!

Na na na na na na na naaaaaaa...make a joyful sound!!

I don't want to sound preachy, make you feel all wrong.
Just want to write some kind of lyrics, sing a feel-good song.
It's kind of hard to explain, this feeling I get
From making music, making love, getting both feet wet.

Well every piece to the puzzle snapped tight to the groove,
I close my eyes, breathe deeply, and let my feet move.
You know, I feel a little better now for speaking my mind.
Send good vibes in circulation and see who they find....

One of my favorite songs, Joyful Sound by String Cheese Incident.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
