JANIS IAN

- Thankyous Lyrics

Papa gave me music
Mama gave me soul
Brother gave me
Reaching out to hold

Teacher gave me license
Learning set me free
Schooling gave me nothing
Music showed me how to be

Papa gave me want-to-be
Brother gave me empathy
Mama gave me woman
But that isn't all I need

I have lived in houses
I have lived in homes
Eaten off of tables
Made of wood or stone

Through the trials and tribulations
I've never known
How to say I love you
And let my feelings show
So thank you for the music
Thank you for the song

Bless you for the freedom
In knowing right from wrong
Thank you for the laughter
The heartaches and the tears

It's a blessing to grow
It's a goodness to be here

You give me want-to-be
You give me sympathy
You give me woman
Thank you for loving me
And letting it show

It's a pleasure to be here
So bless us, every one
