Thank You's Paroles

Learning set me free
Schooling gave me nothing
Music showed me how to be

Papa gave me want-to-be
Brother gave me empathy
Mama gave me woman
But that isn't all I need

I have lived in houses
I have lived in homes
Eaten off of tables
Made of wood or stone

Through the trials and tribulations
I've never known
How to say I love you
And let my feelings show
So thank you for the music
Thank you for the song The heartaches and the tears

It's a blessing to grow
It's a goodness to be here

You give me want-to-be
You give me sympathy
You give me woman
Thank you for loving me
And letting it show

It's a pleasure to be here
So bless us, every one
