lyrics

I set my course on the high road
The life I seek can seem unreachable
And when I fall short of my goals
I don’t give up or let the sadness grow

I am thankful to be able to try
Like a bird who must learn how to fly
I am thankful for the ups and the downs
And the ground that you gain when you try
Little by little, I’m gonna go far

I’ll be alright when I think I won’t
I’ll find a friend when I am all alone
I’ll laugh again once I’m all cried out
And there’ll be trust where there was only doubt

I am thankful to be able to try
Like a bird who must learn how to fly
I am thankful for the ups and the downs
And the ground that you gain when you try
Little by little, we’re gonna go far
Just be thankful for who you are
And set your course on a high road
