Give thanks every single day
For friends to love, music to play
For family gathered round in love
Send our thanks to Heaven above

Thanksgiving is a special time
To share our bounty, cast our mind
Back to the days our families
Prepared this world for you and me

Without those brave and hearty folk
We'd still be bent to someone's yoke
Where 'ere may be our Motherland
In this free world we all can stand

Proud and thankful, strong and free
To those who brought our liberty
We give our thanks and joy of living
On this the day we call Thanksgiving
