Because of the happiness that a new day brings, we say thank you 
Children are suffering in silence, and we are saying thank you 
As the world turns, 
We scream our despair out into the universe and say  
Thank you 
Smiles are fading from everyone’s faces and yet 
We are saying thank you 
Back from the wedding between sorrow and destruction, we return and say  
Thank you 
Back from an afternoon party 
We smile and say thank you 
We are saying thank you for the song that described our lives with one note 
We are saying thank you for the relatives that were with us every step of the way 
As the earth runs dry, we say thank you 
As we spill our thoughts onto a paper 
We sigh in relief and say thank you 
Rushing back from the dark alley of our lost dreams 
We say thank you 
With tears running down our faces 
We say thank you 
With sadness pumping through our veins  
We say thank you 
As our hopes are snatched away from us, we say thank you 
As our hearts finally fill with newfound freedom 
We say 
Thank you.
