Thanksgiving Day Lyrics
When we were farmers we hauled in the harvest
And founded Thanksgiving Day
With food in the shed for the winter ahead
We would gather together to say--
Thanks for our health. Thanks for our hearth
And the bounty that grows from the ground
With our loved ones near we bless the year
That's brought us safely 'round
Now we are shoppers. We drive to the market
The farm seems a light year away
Still, every November we pause to remember
That time-honored, old-fashioned day
Thanks for our health. Thanks for our hearth
And the bounty that grows from the ground
With our loved ones near we bless the year
That's brought us safely 'round
Everything changes, yes, even Thanksgiving
Let's rededicate this old day
To helping the hungry, the poor and the homeless

So all may be able to say--
Thanks for our health. Thanks for our hearth
And the bounty that grows from the ground
With our loved ones near we bless the year
That's brought us safely 'round
With our loved ones near we bless the year
That's brought us safely 'round
