gratitude

I have a problem with gratitude
and I don't have a clue
to what's my problem
I've been told I should change my attitude
think all those problems through
and try to solve them
I'm thankful
I sincerely am
for the blessings I've been given
it's just my brain's
been a traffic jam
from the cradle
up to heaven

I have a problem with gratitude
I need to set myself loose
to learn it
but give me enough latitude
I'll take the truth
and overturn it
I'm thankful
I'm talking true
I'm privileged and I know it
it's just my brain
will not do
the new things I try to show it

I have a problem with gratitude
but I think
I know what to do now
I hope I'm not being rude
but listen
I'm telling you now
that I'm thankful
for this life
I'm grateful for the view
when I look
with my own two eyes
at you

I have a problem with gratitude
yeah, gratitude's one of many problems
but you got me feeling good
and give me strength to solve them
