I thank God for my muse when I write these songs

I never met another person that was quite as strong

We′re a perfect fit, no need to try it onYou shine like the stars in the sky when the lights are off

That's probably why your smile can be seen from space

I thank God every day that he keeps you safe

Ask for forgiveness and pray we don′t repeat mistakes

Hope you can see the way I appreciate you

I wanna thank you for making me a better man

Pray you can tell I am doing the best I can

I prayed for a second chance, I'll pay for the wedding bands

I don't wanna stress you, just let you know where my head is at

I wanna thank you for the confidence instilled in me

And repay you for everything that you did for me

It isn′t easy, but believe me, we′ll make it through

I thank God and I pray every day for you

I wanna thank you for

Everything you've done for me

I wouldn′t be the man I am

Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for

Always being there for me

I wanna pay you back

For always takin' care of me

I thank God I had a mom that taught me right from wrong

I′m not surprised or shocked, she defied the odds

I know the days were hard and the nights were long

Had to raise three kids and find a job

She worked the nightshift, so the bills were paid

And there was always food on the dinner plate

I wore hand-me-downs to school, they're a little frayed

Sick of getting picked on, so I misbehaved

But thank God my dad taught me how to be a man

I was a lost boy, no Peter Pan

That′s word to Jaden Smith, taught me what patience is

And gave his kid so much more than a place to live

I learned everything I know from you

If I didn't there's no telling what I′d grow into

To my parents, I know it′s long overdue

But from the bottom of my heart, thank both of you

I wanna thank you for

Everything you've done for me

I wouldn′t be the man I am

Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for

Always being there for me

I wanna pay you back

For always takin' care of me

I thank God for the music when it starts to play

I′m thankful I could use it on my darkest days

Even when I start to lose it or it's hard to pray

It removes and soothes the pain and helps the scars to fade

The funny thing about a heart is it ain′t hard to break

Music is there to repair it and spark the flame

We perish, the bars remain; piano, guitars, and bass

I channel these harsh mistakes into the art I make

I'm very invested, I'm aware of these blessings

This is a therapy session, how I bury depression

I share these confessions with the barest intentions

Music can change the way that you wear an expression

We don′t appreciate the rain till the pavement dries

So turn the bass up high and watch the pain subside

′Cause there were days when I truly prayed to die

Music saved my life, this is how I stayed alive

I wanna thank you for

Everything you've done for me

I wouldn′t be the man I am

Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for

Always being there for me

I wanna pay you back

For always takin' care of me

I always thank God, first and foremost

I felt cursed since birth, we were born broke

Lord knows we were poor, couldn′t afford clothes

But you opened windows when the doors closed

Without you, none of the rest would be possible

I even thank you for the stress and the obstacles

The hard to swallow truth and the lessons that taught me to

Keep my head high and the rest will follow suit

I wanna thank you with an open sincerity

For this moment of clarity, the focus you share with me

You gave me hope when they took me for a joke or a parody

You showed the severity; when I was broken, you carried me

I'm grateful for the strength you gave to never give up

I′m thankful for every second that there's breath in my lungs

My faith's true, I praise you for the message of love

And I just wanna thank you for the blessings you brung

I wanna thank you for

Everything you′ve done for me

I wouldn′t be the man I am

Without your love for me

I wanna thank you for

Always being there for me

I wanna pay you back

For always takin' care of me
