Be Thankful
From 'Sir Oliver's Song' (2:20)
Verse 1:
I knew a boy dissatisfied
He craved what others owned
He thought it would bring happiness
If only he had known
I need a brand new riding bike
Like neighbor Don thought he
Then I would surely be content
And happy as can be
Chorus:
Be thankful for what you have
Look 'round and you will see
Your treasures are everywhere
The best ones found are free
Verse 2:
Though Don he owned that brand new bike
His joy was incomplete
"A motor scooter's what I need"
Said Don to neighbor Pete
But Pete with his new motor bike
He often would complain
I cannot ride when winter comes
Or when it starts to rain
Chorus:
Be thankful for what you have
Look 'round and you will see
Your treasures are everywhere
The best ones found are free
Verse 3:
If you'll obey this simple rule
Found in this simple song
You'll find the things you really want
And never will go wrong
So don't let others' things become
The apple of your eye
Our Heavenly Father's good and kind
His love will satisfy
Chorus:
Be thankful for what you have
Look 'round and you will see
Your treasures are everywhere
The best ones found are free
