lyrics
Thank God for the ones who stick around.
Though they put you in your place,
they're the ones that keep you sound.
Rest assured that when you blunder,
you will hear the sounds of thunder.
So, thank God, for those friends who stick around.
Thank God for family love that never dies.
They cleaned up after your messes
then tucked you in at night.
And then, when later, you move out,
and finally get what life's about.
You thank God for their love that never dies.
And do thank God for the friends who come and go
There was a time when you were close,
you shared the highs and lows
And though you may be days apart,
you keep a small place in your heart
And ask God to bless their years you cannot know.
Thank God for the ones that make you cry
It goes to show you have a heart,
it shows that you're alive
Facing your self one-to-one,
that is when the tears will come.
So thank God for the ones that make you cry.
Most of all, thank the ones who stick around.
They can help you build your dreams,
with feet firmly on the ground.
Though there's plenty to be thankful for,
plenty for you to adore,
Thank God for the ones who stick around.
