Give thanks for the gift of life
Everything will be alright
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the help and strength
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the help and strength
All you fit about say nothing a go on
Like you no respect the
blessings you give
When all gone but the life no gone
We must always love and live
The only thing I hear them talk about
Is who is rich from who is poor
But if you love Jah,
don't have no doubt
Just live your life and be sure
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the
help and strength
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the help and strength
I say be thankful to us, Oja
None of your children shall suffer
Be grateful to us, Oja
Some will come in murder
just for a dollar
Live good instead
No bother hurt your brother
just to put a roof over your head
What is wrong with mankind?
I hear them say to be poor is a crime
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it drop and we
can't find a cent,
Just give thanks for the help that's rent.
Give thanks for the gift of life,
And everything will be alright.
Give thanks for the gift of life
And everything will be so bright
Bright, bright
So bright, bright
Only fit a box and nothing a one
Like you know respect and
blessing Jah gave
When all gone but the light are gone
We must always love and live
The only thing I hear them talk about,
is who is rich from who is poor
But if you love Jah,
then oh have no doubt,
live your life and be sure
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the
health and strength
Even when it's rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it's tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the help and strength
Even when it rough
and we can't find a cent
Even when it tough
and we can't pay the rent
Even when it rough
and we can't find a cent
Just give thanks for the help and strength
Give thanks for life
And everything will be alright
Give thanks for life
And everything will shine so bright
Give thanks for life
And everything will be alright
Shine so bright
Like a moon,
the stars and the sunlight
Shine so bright
Like a moon,
the stars and the sunlight
