"Gratitude" Song Lyrics

Hello Courageous BraveHeart Women,

I've been busy....and it has been a very rewarding couple of days. I did a photo shoot for my first ever single and CD. I just finished all the tracks yesterday. I will now mix and master it. One of the first things that went through my head as I drove away from the studio was "but its only an EP", "but its only the first 7 songs". Second thoughts were....."maybe I should be waiting until I am done with these next 7 I have been working on, and release a full length CD" "maybe I should be releasing a full length CD".......buts, maybes, shoulds.....mixed in with a decision I already made......red flag....hello monkey(the voice in my head). I already made a decision to do 2 EPs this year and I was "thinking"....it's not enough, I'm not enough.....I said hello to the monkey and told him...."well of course you showed up....you usually show up when I am taking action in the direction of my passion. You don't want to miss the party, I know......that's ok but I didn't invite you so if you don't mind leaving that would be great!"

I am very grateful to all you BraveHeart Women....you supported me, encouraged me.....and without you all, it would not have been anywhere near the fun! Who better to share it with.....very soon! I love you and appreciate you. Thank you for the inspiration you have given me. The courage you have shown in me in your own lives has given me the confidence to do the same....the trust and the belief.

Sincerely,

Debra Hadraba

GRATITUDE

I can’t hear pride like this
It goes deeper still
I can’t feel success like this
It goes deeper still
It’s quiet, not loud
It’s strong, not proud

Everything is such a gift, it’s all a gift
Even moments when I thought I would quit
It all fits, it all fits
The good things and things that seem bad
The happy times and the sad

GRATITUDE
IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE TO ME
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WE FEEL INSIDE US
IT WILL HOLD YOU UP
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WILL DO
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WILL DO FOR YOU

My dear sister oh you’ve had it rough
It’s been difficult for you
And you tell me that you want to give up
But I don’t think it’s what you want to do
Someone understands you
Someone really hears you
So hang on, hang on, hang on to

GRATITUDE
IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE TO ME
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WE FEEL INSIDE US
IT WILL HOLD YOU UP
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WILL DO
LIKE NOTHING ELSE WILL DO FOR YOU

Despite all this crazy pain
there is water in rain
Despite all this crazy pain
you'll find water in the rain
