lyrics
Here’s to the victim, the orphaned, and destitute
A salute to innocence, perseverance, and gratitude
They who learn to rise above fear
And turn misfortune into spirit
Will earn their right to things I’ve been handed (And suddenly)
It’s burning so much brighter in me
That I’ve been granted so much more than I need
I’m so much younger than I seem at 23
This is the sound of gratitude
Thank you for the patience, for the guidance, for the sanction
For never standing in my way, or ever asking me to sing for anything I did not believe
Thank you for showing me that love is not a myth
For proof that separate lives can bind and coexist
The truth is, so few find bonafide happiness (But here it is)
23 years, still going
Take a few more steps toward knowing
Lessons I will learn on my own
This is the sound of gratitude
I may not ever find a way to reciprocate all I receive
But I can show you who I am, who I have become, who I’m going to be
There were moments when I know I took it all for granted
You could’ve turned me out; instead you sowed and planted
Seeds - They’ll help me stand on my own
After 24 years I know
There’re still a few more fears I’ll overthrow
Reflections of a world that I have borrowed
This is the sound of a siren from a single cell - The firing of a synapse
Collapse of delusion - The ego’s solution
This is the sound of gratitude
Do you think that I’ve gathered enough inertia
To leave the ground and hold my own?
Let’s celebrate now, while the wind’s up
Don’t ever want to let you down
As a quarter of a century unfolds
Perspective renders revelations yet untold
Could intention alone ever mirror the mold?
This is the sound of a satellite signaling memories - They hold (reminders)
Lessons untapped until now
This is the sound of gratitude
A salute to innocence, perseverance, and gratitude
They who learn to rise above fear
And turn misfortune into spirit
Will earn their right to things I’ve been handed (And suddenly)
It’s burning so much brighter in me
That I’ve been granted so much more than I need
I’m so much younger than I seem at 23
This is the sound of gratitude
Thank you for the patience, for the guidance, for the sanction
For never standing in my way, or ever asking me to sing for anything I did not believe
Thank you for showing me that love is not a myth
For proof that separate lives can bind and coexist
The truth is, so few find bonafide happiness (But here it is)
23 years, still going
Take a few more steps toward knowing
Lessons I will learn on my own
This is the sound of gratitude
I may not ever find a way to reciprocate all I receive
But I can show you who I am, who I have become, who I’m going to be
There were moments when I know I took it all for granted
You could’ve turned me out; instead you sowed and planted
Seeds - They’ll help me stand on my own
After 24 years I know
There’re still a few more fears I’ll overthrow
