11 Gratitude (original mix good for folk)

Glowing embers soothe my soul
Calm within the storm
Thankful for this life I love
The hearth-fire keeps me warm
Close my eyes, go inside
Troubles fall away
Here I know life is good 
No matter what you say

You say our world is dying now
Storms and fires brew 
Mother Earth is crying out
Her rescue overdue
Our country has a broken heart
I hope it's not too late 
It's up to us to do our part
Spread love instead of hate

CHORUS
So, I go within, calm my mind         
Connect with Higher Source
Become the peace I want to find
That's how I change the course
Gratitude is what I feel
Brightens up my day     
Gratitude helps me heal
And takes my blues away

Walking on a North Woods trail
Far from human hands
It’s where all life makes perfect sense 
Reflects a higher plan
Mother Nature comforts me
When I'm feeling strange
It all comes down to thankfulness
The sunshine that sustains

CHORUS
Gratitude keeps me warm, calm within the storm
