  • I said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you"
    For loving me
    I've been searching every minute of life
    For what you give me
    'Cause if I'm real honest and you know it
    It's not always breezy

    Took it for granted
    Life ain't always what you were handed
    Don't be so easily offended
    There's some things I learnt to live with
    'Cause some things can't be changed

    'Cause I make the most of a bad occasion
    Without much choice
    'Cause I'm still picking up the racket
    And I hit the ball (the racket)
    As the white feather begins to fall down
    Heaven is near
    And I wonder if you're out there listening
    Forgiveness is real

    Took it for granted
    Life ain't always what you were handed
    Don't be so easily offended
    There's some things I learnt to live with
    'Cause some things can't be changed

    No, you can't break me down
    I won't let you bring me down

    Take a deep breath
    'Cause I'm still picking up the racket
    I said
    I said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you"
    I said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you" Writer/s: Lucy Rose Parton
