Each New Day

Oh the miles

These days they seem to just roll on forever

See their smiles

But a little screen is reminding me that we're not quite together

I'm on the road alone

A thousand miles from home

And giving thanks out loud can sometimes feel dishonest

I'm almost home

And October's getting on

And the season for Thanksgiving is upon us

I'm thankful

I'm grateful

For each new day the sun shines down somewhere on planet Earth

I'm grateful for my own fiddle

A chance to bring a little joy to you for what it's worth

It's joyful to be thankful and hold our loved ones dear

Every day Thanksgiving means giving thanks all year

Oh the memories

My old man ran the family up and down the road

Just 14

Too young in age to be on stage for so so long

But I tried to be strong

For the younger ones

The broken scenes of homegrown dreams were too hard on us

But I tried to forgive

So I won't be the same

Fearful man who raised his hand

Anger in God's name

And I'm grateful

For forgiveness

For the loving light that's shining bright from deep within our hearts

I'm grateful

For my own fiddle

The chance to bring a little joy to you right where you are

I'm grateful

I'm thankful

For each new day the sun shines down somewhere on planet Earth

I'm grateful for my little ones

They keep teaching me and hiding who we are

That's the thing that I'm most grateful for by far
