I've been given more than any man
Can reasonably expect
Tasted fame, I've tasted fortune
Undeniably, I'm blessed
When you're young, you hear 'em say it
But you don't fully believe
It all means nothing without friends and family
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
I've won awards for playing chords
I been the talk of the town
I've seen my name in lights
I've heard the roaring of a crowd
When I was young, I thought that love would come
From things that I achieve
The kind of love I crave and really need
Oh, that only comes from friends and family
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, dee-dee-dee
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
Now it's good to have self-worth
And I'd say I have self-esteem
But I'm only just one person
In this human symphony
And everybody knows just one note
Don't make a masterpiece
There's no beauty, there's no tension, no release
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, dee-dee-dee
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
Now when it all is said and done
And my lungs no longer breathe
And I'm walking through the gates
My maker stands in front of me
And asks me, "What'd you do down there?
What's the legacy you leave?"
Hope I can respond confidently
That I spent my days, my time, my energy
Giving all I had to friends and family
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, dee-dee-dee
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
Oh, God, thank You for my friends and family
