2nd of 365_2026: Song of the Year

I found the most wonderful, catchy song that I could listen to first thing in the morning. To be honest, I have not heard about the artist but I did come across a short reel on Facebook with this song as the background music.

So I searched youtube to find the full version of the song.

Found it! The title is "Thankful" and the artist's name is Forrest Frank.

If you need an uplifting song, this is it! I am writing down the lyrics and provide a youtube link so you too can listen to it. Add it to your playlist!

"Thankful"

by Forrest Frank

I've got so much to be thankful for (Haha)

Look, I've got a roof and a bed

A couple groceries to stay fed

I've got a phone and clean water

And some shoes when I wanna go farther

Today I've got so much to be thankful for (Ayy)

I woke up this morning thinking, "Thank You, Lord"

For giving me everything I could ever need and more

I've got so much to be thankful for (Ohh, yeah)

I have lights and a fan

A couple people who know who I am (Know)

I have a car and clean clothes

Pots and pans I can cook on the stove

I have the sun and air in my lungs

And a big mess that I get to clean up

But most of all, I have You

And that's the reason these words are true

Today I've got so much to be thankful for (Thankful for)

I woke up this morning thinking, "Thank You, Lord" (Thank You)

For giving me everything I could ever need and more (Need and more)

I've got so much to be thankful for (Ayy)

One more time

Today I've got so much to be thankful for (Thankful for)

I woke up this morning thinking, "Thank You, Lord" (Thank You, Lord)

For giving me everything I could ever need and more

I've got so much to be thankful for

Oh, say it again, say it again

I've got so much to be thankful for
