The Heart of America: Mary Chapin Carpenter ‘s Thanksgiving Song

 Thanksgiving Song Lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Grateful for each hand we hold gathered round this table.

From far and near we travel home, blessed that we are able.

Grateful for this sheltered place with light in every window, saying welcome, welcome, share this feast come in away from sorrow.

Father, mother, daughter, son, neighbor, friend and friendless; all together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness.

Grateful for what's understood, and all that is forgiven; we try so hard to be good, to lead a life worth living.

Father, mother, daughter, son, neighbor, friend, and friendless; all together everyone, let grateful days be endless.

Grateful for each hand we hold gathered round this table.
