Gratitude Under City Lights

[Intro] Yeah, we liftin’ up our eyes to the skyline, hands to the sky Two voices, one heart, one grind, we testify [Verse 1: Male] From sunrise on the block to the late-night prayer Gratitude in the lungs, breathin’ hope in the air We hustle with a purpose, pockets not full of gold But rich in mercy, grace, and stories boldly told Food on the table, roof over our heads Faith in the footwork when the map fills with bends We give thanks for the lessons that came from the rain Blessings in the struggle, drive us through the pain [Verse 1: Female] Eyes on the mercy, feet on steady ground In the rhythm of the city, our names get crowned Kids laugh in the courtyard, elders share wisdom's spark We measure worth by love, not the shine in the dark Unity in the corners where the doubts may creep We lift each other higher, in faith we firmly reap Grace like a river running through every street A chorus of tomorrow sounding hopeful and sweet [Chorus] We thank You, God, for waking hearts tonight We thank You, God, for guiding with Your light Together we stand, hands clasped in the crowd Gratitude in action, faith loud and proud [Verse 2: Male & Female] [Male] Blessings in the bills paid and the bills we break through [Female] Blessings in the quiet prayers that heal and renew [Male] Blessings in the neighbor who shares what they’ve got [Female] Blessings in the unity that rose from the lot [Verse 2: Female] Voices blend like city chrome and midnight rain We testify in rhythm, we endure the strain We praise in the hustle, we worship in the grind Two souls aligned, a single vow in mind [Chorus] We thank You, God, for waking hearts tonight We thank You, God, for guiding with Your light Together we stand, hands clasped in the crowd Gratitude in action, faith loud and proud [Bridge] In every alley, on every avenue we roam Your mercy leads us home, Your wisdom calls us home We lift our voices, one chorus, one tone In Your blessing, we are never alone [Chorus] We thank You, God, for waking hearts tonight We thank You, God, for guiding with Your light Together we stand, hands clasped in the crowd Gratitude in action, faith loud and proud [Outro] Grateful for the road, grateful for the crew Grateful for the love that makes us new We walk this city with hearts wide awake Gratitude to You, for our souls’ sake
