Grateful

You can ask the pilot
 If he can pull the plane out of a dive
 And he will tell you every time
 We are lucky just to fly
 And we should be grateful
 To be like the birds
 Even they fall from the sky sometimes
 We should be grateful
 To be like the birds
 Spread your wings and cast your fears aside
 And you can ask the surgeon
 If he can pry your heart out of your mind
 And he will tell you with dry eyes
 There's a reason they're entwined
 And you should be grateful
 To feel so much
 Most people just bury it inside
 You should be grateful
 To be on this course
 Where reason and empathy collide
 And you can ask the preacher
 If he can pull the man out of his slide
 And he will tell you with bright eyes
 Man's a victim of his pride
 We should be grateful
 To just be alive
 Dig your heels in, get through the day
 We should be grateful
 To just be alive
 Your armor's heavy, but try to be brave
