Thanks to life that's given me so much

It gave me two bright eyes that, when I open them

I perfectly distinguish the black from the white

And in the high sky its starry background

And in the multitudes the man that I love

Thanks to life that's given me so much

It's given me hearing that, in all its breadth

Each night and day

Crickets and canaries, hammers, turbines

Barks, downpours

And the tender voice of my beloved

Thanks to life that's given me so much

It's given me sound and the alphabet

With it the words that I think and declare

Mother, friend, brother, and light lighting up

The route of the soul of the one that I'm loving

Thanks to life that's given me so much

It's given me the march of my tired feet

With them I walked through cities and puddles

Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains

And your house, your street, and your yard

Thanks to life that's given me so much

It gave me the heart that shakes its frame

When I look at the fruit of the human brain

When I look at the good so far from the bad

When I look at the depth of your clear eyes

Thanks to life that's given me so much

It's given me laughter and it's given me tears

That way I distinguish joy from heartbreak

The two materials that form my song

And the song of you all that's the same song

And the song of everyone that's my own song
