These Days
Gratitude in Hard Times: Drew Foust's Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
Oh lord I'm grateful for another day
Expressing gratitude for the gift of another day of life.
A day where I can learn to live again
Acknowledging the opportunity to learn and start anew.
I ain't never been the one to pray
Not traditionally inclined to pray, but recognizing the need for assistance.
But these days I'm taking all the help I can
Embracing any available help during challenging times.
Now the tension's growing stronger in the air
Sensing increasing tension and unease in the surroundings.
The space is growing barren on my shelf
Feeling a lack of fulfillment or abundance in personal life.
Folks in charge never seem to care
Criticizing those in positions of power for apparent indifference.
These days it sure is hard to help yourself
Highlighting the difficulty of self-help in contemporary times.
So don't you come on through with no bad news
Discouraging the sharing of negative news, emphasizing a focus on positivity.
Because we ain't got no use
Rejecting the utility of bad news in the current situation.
We got sunshine and it's warming up on these hard time until we're strong enough so we can stand
Optimism in the presence of challenges, relying on inner strength.
These days we ought to try and lend a hand
Advocating for mutual support and assistance during difficult times.
Well you don't have to ever be afraid
Encouraging courage in the face of the unknown or misunderstood.
Of what you don't understand
Advising against fear of things not comprehended or familiar.
We had to lay down in the bed we made
Acceptance of consequences and responsibilities for one's actions.
And now we got some change at hand
Noting a positive change in the current circumstances.
I said lord I'm grateful for another day
Reiterating gratitude for the opportunity of a new day.
A day where I can learn to live again
Reaffirmation of the desire to learn and live fully each day.
I ain't never been the one to pray
Repeating the sentiment of not being inclined to traditional prayer.
But these days I'm taking all the help I can
Continuing to accept and seek help in the present circumstances.
