Give thanks for the scar and
Give thanks for the sore,
Give thanks, t?was the battle you lost, not the war
Give thanks for the winter,
The struggle, the strive,
Give thanks to the people who helped you survive.
Oh, the days they are long
But keep getting shorter,
The night?s coming on
Oh, the winter is strong
But sooner or later the Spring comes along
Interlude
Give thanks for the heartache,
Give thanks for the pain,
Give thanks for the rough unfamiliar terrain
Give thanks to the old days
and say your goodbye,
Give thanks that the old rules no longer apply
Oh, the days they are long
But keep getting shorter,
The night?s coming on
Oh, the winter is strong
But sooner or later the Spring comes along
Give thanks for the Apple. (Freely, solemn)
Give thanks for the Snake.
Give thanks that we have our own choices to make.
Give thanks for the chances, the beauty, the song. (Picking up tempo)
Cause sooner or later the Spring comes along!
Oh, the days they are long (joyfully)
But keep getting shorter,
The night?s coming on
Oh, the winter is strong
But sooner or later the Spring comes along
Yes, sooner or later the Spring comes along
Yes, sooner or later the Spring comes along.
