Be Gratitude
Will it kill us to say a simple thank you
To the ones that have help us
In one way or another
Will it kill us to say a simple thank you
To the ones that have done right for us
Will it kill us to say a simple sorry
To the ones that we've hurt
Will it kill us to say a simple sorry
To the ones that we've accused for no reason
Gratitude isone of the main
Form of politeness
We should've known it since we were young
Since we've known how to talk
Thank you and sorry is not to be bought
Like our ancestors used to say
Why is it so difficult to practise
These three simple words
Why let too much pride and vanity
Make us think we are so perfect
And prevent us from being thankful
To the ones that have done good for us
And sorry tothe ones we've misdeed for no reason
Why let ourbad habits and behaviour
Make us forget these three words
And make us...
...don't think of who we are
Why are we forgetting
How to be thankful
Why are we forgetting
How to say I'm sorry
Parents should thought it
To their children
Teach them good manners
And they'll florish in a better world
Come on grown ups and mature ones
Be the example...
...the role model to our youths
Share with them good knowledge
And our new generation...
...will create a better evolution
Let gratitude be our prayers everyday
Our food...
...our medication...
...our pledge and our motto.
