John Bucchino is a composer of modern music theater as well as a pianist and teacher.
Each November, I take a moment to listen to his song "Grateful" and reflect on the things I am most thankful, or grateful, for.
Here is portion of the song's lyrics:
I've got a roof over my head,
I've got a warm place to sleep,
Sometimes I lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep.
I've got a heart that can hold love,
I've got a mind that can think,
There may be times when I lose the light,
And let my spirits sink.
But I can't stay depressed.
When I remember how I'm blessed.
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful.
I am grateful, grateful,
Truly blessed and duly grateful.
This is one of my favorite performances of this song!
Happy Thanksgiving, Park Sharks! I'm thankful to be able to make music with you!
I've got
a roof ove
