I remember a time from my early years Standing at the backdoor in a flood of tears Soaked top to bottom in a sea of red By the steady flow coming from my head, and you Swept me up and away we flew Cross-town to that emergency room Where they sewed me up and sent us on our way But I never will forget that day Thank God for you Thank God for me Tell Him I know the truth Tell him I can truly see That without your love I don't know where I'd be, so Thank God for you, and Thank God for me When I was a young man of twenty-one I was paying the price of an American son Spending my time in a foreign land For the great society master plan I seen things I truly never wanted to see That left an everlasting mark on me But all of those things didn't matter when Your open arms welcomed me back home again Thank God for you Thank God for me Tell him I know the truth Tell him I can truly see That without your love I don't know who I'd be, so Thank God for you, and Thank God for me Standing here looking up into this night sky It's a confort that it seems so clear But wishing on a star Wasn't near as hard In the times when you were here If heaven's anthing like I hope it is I'm glad for you that you're away from this And if there's anything good here I can see It's that somewhere someone waits for me, so Thank God for you Thank God for me Tell him I know the truth Tell him I can truly see That without your love I don't know where my life might be, so Thank God for you Thank God for me |
