"Thank You Is My Mantra" lyrics

"Thank You Is My Mantra"

Gratitude, the antidote
The world that's built on fear
The evil world we live in
Wants our soul to disappear
But gratitude's salvation
A never ending light
That transcends all the darkness
Trying to hold us to the night

Thoughts say what is missing
Thank you says what's here
Thoughts keep us unconscious
Thank you makes it clear
Back into the moment
The vast eternal now
Where God is always with us
And Holy like a cow

Like a sunrise or a child
Or a garden full of roses
The mind misses the magic
And considers all the poses
Why are thoughts against us
Principalities are there
Whispering indifference
On foundations of despair

So thank you is my mantra, mantra
Na na na na na na na
Thank you is my mantra, mantra

Who set up this funhouse
This journey for our soul
Where most never make it
And lose all their control
How do we get back
Any sovereignty
From the lies of demons
That we pretend to be

Thank you is a pass
To a place outside of hell
Gratitude and presence
Will lift us where we fell
But we have to make a practice
To come back into now
In the garden of our gratitude
And push that ancient plow

I don't know the reason
We are in a holy war
Or how we ever come back
To who we were before
Did it start in Eden
With an apple and a snake
Since then have we been fallen
With this battle as our fate?

So thank you is my mantra, mantra
Na na na na na na na
Thank you is my mantra, mantra

The world will lie to us
And so will our mind
So will our mind

Whatever is the reason
This is where we are
The light and the darkness
All aiming for our heart
The light wants us present
In the clutch of gratitude
The darkness wants us scattered
With an evil attitude

And we look at the thinking
That justifies the course
We see it's thought itself
That brings on the divorce
From the Holy Spirit
From revelations bloom
From the love of God
To the darkness of the tomb

Voices of old demons
We identify as us
And then we follow lies
The wrong voices that we trust
Take us to destruction
Take us to despair
When the gift of God himself
Has always just been here

So thank you is my mantra, mantra
Na na na na na na na
Thank you is my mantra, mantra

Thank you is my mantra, mantra
Na na na na na na na
Thank you is my mantra, mantra

The world will lie to us
And so will our mind
So will our mind

The world will lie to us
And so will our mind
So will our mind

Thank you is my mantra, mantra
