“Gratitude”
“Gratitude” is a heartfelt celebration of life, faith, resilience, and the quiet strength that keeps us moving forward even when the journey becomes difficult.
The song reflects on those seasons when uncertainty takes over, the waiting seems endless, and the answers we seek appear far away. Yet, despite it all, we remain standing, breathing, believing, and holding on to hope.
“Gratitude” encourages listeners to pause, reflect, count their blessings, and appreciate how far they have come. It is a reminder that some of the things we once prayed for are already present in our lives—sometimes in ways we never expected.
Above all, the song carries a simple but powerful message: if you are still here, there is always something to be grateful for.

LYRICS
VERSE 1
Different faces
Different places
Countless verses
Many roads
Chase your dreams
Different phases
And I see you
You’re still breathing
Still believing
Through many things
I’m so glad
That you’re here
In the high and low
You’re not alone
Many nights
Empty thoughts and silent prayers
Days of waiting
Faith was shaking
Yet you’re standing
Waiting won’t last
Keep your head up
And be grateful
Chorus
You should be grateful
Forever grateful
Look what you prayed for
Undeniable
God is so faithful
Forever faithful
VERSE 2
On the mountain
You, be singing Hallelujah
In the valley you’d be raising your voice to God
Don’t forget to count your blessings
Every morning
Your days are better when you start out
With gratitude
HOOK
If you’re grateful clap
Everybody clap
Grateful clap
BRIDGE
Oya everybody
Don’t you worry
Count your blessings
Everybody grateful
Don’t you stop believing
Every morning count your blessing
Everybody grateful
