Don't Forget to Thank the Lord - John Anderson

I see sad, sad faces in far away places

Scattered all around the world

Livin' in cardboard cities, Lord you got to have pity

On the hungry little boys and girls

And if it wasn’t for a lovin' gracious Lord

That could be me and you

It’s time to quit our complaining

And start remembering who we all owe it to

Don’t forget to thank the teacher and the preacher

For saving your mind and your soul

Don’t forget to thank the fireman, the policeman

When your world’s going out of control

Don’t forget to thank the mothers and the soldiers

Prayin' and goin' to war

And at the end of the day, don’t forget to thank the Lord

Well there’s too much hate and too much debating

And politicking going on

We get to fussin' 'bout the process, worry 'bout the BS

Instead of what makes us strong

Like in God we trust and the ones we love

And workin' hard every day

And if you don’t like it, friend, you can leave it

But you better listen when I say

Don’t forget to thank the teacher and the preacher

For saving your mind and your soul

Don’t forget to thank the fireman, the policeman

When your world’s going out of control

Don’t forget to thank the mothers and the soldiers

Prayin' and goin' to war

And at the end of the day, don’t forget to thank the Lord

Don’t forget to thank the teacher and the preacher

For saving your mind and your soul

Don’t forget to thank the fireman, the policeman

When your world’s going out of control

Don’t forget to thank the mothers and the soldiers

Prayin' and goin' to war

And at the end of the day, don’t forget to thank the Lord

At the end of the day, don’t forget to thank the Lord
