Jewel - Grateful Lyrics

Jewel Lyrics

"Grateful"

When everything's wrong
When I can't find my song
When darkness is all I see
There is a remedy

It's all the little things that make the world go round
It's all the little things that are almost powerful
There's no politician, no sky too dark
No one, no one can take the love from my heart

The sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun gonna shine, ooh ooh, it's true
Cause I can always be grateful

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

When the loudest sound
Is your own life crashing down
And when your friends, when your friends, they don't come around
There's one true thing I've found

It's all the little things, the bells that ring
The green green grass and the birds that sing
I'm gonna choose the bright side to see
And no one, no one, no one can take that from me

'Cause the sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun's gonna shine, ooh ooh, it's true
Cause I can always be grateful

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

So bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on now
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on now
Sing it on, sing it on, sing it on, sing it on now
I'm singing on, I'm singing on
Singing on

'Cause the sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun's gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun's gonna shine, ooh ooh, it's true
'Cause I can always be grateful

The sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun gonna shine
And in this heart of mine
The sun's gonna shine, ooh ooh, it's true
'Cause I can always be
Oh I can always be
'Cause I can always be grateful

"Grateful" is the first single from Jewel's twelfth studio album. The song was exclusively premiered on People.com on April 7, 2020. She commented, "I wasn't going to be releasing anything yet. I had zero plan, I'm just now mixing the record. But these are the times I feel like my music's built for. I'm built to help create connection, and I want to help give these tools to people."

Jewel explained "Grateful" by stating the following, "Anxiety has been a teacher to me. It has caused me to learn there are only two basic states of being: dilated and contracted [...] Joy, curiosity, observation, love, gratitude all led to dilation. I learned that if I was headed into a panic attack, I could hack my way into a dilated state by focusing very hard on a different feeling. I chose gratitude."
