Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
The day he lost his job at the factory
I thought my dad would come home upset and angry
Around the dinner table not a word was said
Til daddy smiled at us and bowed his head
And he said...thank You for this meal we receive....
Lord, most of all...thank You for blessing me
Cause I'm surrounded by people I love
As long as I've got that ..I've got more than enough
Life can let you down but there's always a reason to look up
And give thanks to a heaven up above
I'm surrounded by people I love
While momma circled jobs in the classifieds
Daddy pounded pavement everyday ....till he got hired
By a company downtown selling brand new mobile homes
Well it wasn't long we bought a new home of our own
When someone told him "you've done well for yourself"
He just said the credit goes to someone else
Cause I'm surrounded by people I love
As long as I've got that ..I've got more than enough
Life can let you down but there's always a reason to look up
And give thanks to a heaven up above
I'm surrounded by people I love
It's been twenty years since I grew up and moved away
I got the call from mom one night that dad had passed away
People came from all around to pay their last respects
And I'll never forget those words my momma said
Now he's surrounded by people he loves
As long as he's got that ..he's got more than enough
This life let him down but there'll always be a reason to look up
Cause it's thanks to a heaven up above
He'll always be surrounded by people he loves
