Thank You World

(Don Reid - Lew De Witt)



I wanna thank you world

For lettin' me belong

I'm just one fourth of one small group

That sings your songs.



I know that there are others

Who have served in bigger ways

All I can do is sing

Your music all my days.



It makes me grateful just to know

To know that I can be

Unique and fill a spot

Beside the other three.



Without a place here in this world

I know that I'd be lost

Thank you world for lettin' me

Contribute to the cause.



I may not ever stand

Like Stonewall Jackson stood

But standing on that stage

To me is just as good.



And I may never be

A heavy or a great

But you've given me the strenght

The strenght to pull my weight.



Oh, for the part I sing

Is truly part of me

And it does it's part to lock

The other parts in key.



And it does it's part to pull

To pull that sweet applause

So thank you world for lettin' me

Contribute to the cause.



Oh, world you've given me

A place that I call mine

Though I've stepped out of it

And I've gotten out of line.



Sometimes I sing your music

Slightly out of key

And I know I make it harder

For the other three.



Oh, I've always done my part

The very best I could

And it's done with other guys

Oh, world you could.



You've let me sing your praises world

And harp about your faults

I thank you world for lettin' me

Contribute to the cause.



It makes me grateful just to know

To know that I can be

Unique and fill a spot

Beside the other three.



Without a place here in this world

I know that I'd be lost

Thank you world for lettin' me

Contribute to the cause.



Thank you world for lettin' me

Contribute to the cause...
