There are times when our lives spin out of control
Our hope is broken and shattered
We cannot find the joy we once embraced
Our faith is wounded and battered
It takes just a small miracle to get us back on track
And bring our spirit back to life
A kindly word can inflate our confidence
An inspired idea can ease our strife
A moment of gratitude helps us remember
What blessings exist for us each day
If we focus on those blessings and not on what we lack
Much of the pain we feel will wash away
Yes, we will always have bumps in the road
And they make us feel vulnerable and afraid
But hope and gratitude give us the tools
To smooth out those bumps and make our troubles fade
