Analysis of Thankful
I'm thankful in the morning
for a fighting chance
I'm thankful in the evening for a tender dance
I'm thankful in the morning
for another dream
I'm thankful in the evening for a sparkly beam
I'm thankful in the morning
for a healthy zest
I'm thankful in the evening for a friendly guest
I'm thankful in the morning
for abundant hope
I'm thankful in the evening for an ample scope
I'm thankful in the morning
for a shooting star
I'm thankful in the evening for a cogent spar
I'm thankful in the morning
for a pristine start
I'm thankful in the evening for a happy heart
