Aren't You Glad You're You
Embrace Life's Gifts: Appreciating You
Lyrics
Do you make the most of your five senses,
Questioning whether one actively utilizes their senses.
Or is your life like Old Mother Hubbard's shelf?
Comparing life to an empty cupboard, suggesting emptiness.
Well, mark this on your slate
Encouraging to take note of the following message.
Life is not an empty plate
Life is not devoid of opportunities or experiences.
That's if you appreciate yourself
Unless one values themselves, they may overlook life's richness.
Ev'ry time you're near a rose
Highlighting appreciation for simple natural beauty.
Aren't you glad you've got a nose?
Expressing gratitude for possessing senses, specifically a nose.
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Referencing the beauty of a fresh morning.
Aren't you glad you're you?
Expressing contentment with one's own existence.
When a meadowlark appears
Appreciating the gift of having two ears.
Aren't you glad you've got two ears?
Linking joyful feelings with the ability to hear.
And if your heart is singing, too
Emphasizing joyous emotions within the heart.
Aren't you glad you're you?
Expressing contentment with one's identity and emotions.
You can see a summer sky
Highlighting the beauty of observing a clear sky.
Or touch a friendly hand
Touching upon the warmth of human connection.
Or taste an apple pie
Appreciating the taste and pleasure of simple delights.
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?
Excusing informal language to emphasize life's greatness.
And when you wake up each morn,
Reflecting on the appreciation of waking up alive.
Aren't you glad that you were born?
Gratitude for existence and the opportunity of life.
Think what you've got the whole day through,
Encouraging appreciation for one's entire day.
Aren't you glad you're you?
Reiterating contentment with one's own identity.
