| Lyrics | Good times gone and you missed them What's gone wrong in your system? Things they bounce, like a Spalding What'd you think? Did you miss your calling? It's so free, this kind of feeling It's like life, it's so appealing When you've got so much to say It's called gratitude, and that's right Good times gone, but you feed it Hate's grown strong, you feel you need it Just one thing, do you know you What you think? That the world owes you? What's gonna’ set you free Look inside and you'll see When you've got so much to say It's called gratitude, and that's rightYou might also like |
