[ Featuring Charles Chemery ]
This morning the sun came up behind the mountain
I couldn t believe my eyes that it was here again
It touched my face with its rays and caressed my skin
Today s Monday; count my blessings
At noon there was food on the table
My appetite was willing and able
Nom nom, thanks Mom, hit the spot
For this ¬ and for everything that I got
Thanks for everything that I got
For this ¬ and for everything that I got
Then I thought, let s take a stroll around the hood
Breathing in, breathing out felt good
Slight breeze, easy peasey, no doubt
I am alive; it s worth thinking about
People waving at me like it s a holiday
The whole neighbourhood seems to think I m OK
I won t complain; doesn t happen every day
Count my blessings; today is Monday
Thanks for everything that I got
For this ¬ and for everything that I got
My friends are checkin in, askin how I m doing
But me, I m just happy they re calling
I m thankful for the people they are
These folks, they keep on raising the bar
When I got home I noticed it was still there
Around the corner it appeared out of nowhere
Four walls, front steps raise the roof
Ready for anything, just bulletproof
Walked in, sat down, I m still breathing
Brought a smile to my face, heart beating
It touched my face with its rays and caressed my skin
Today s Monday; count my blessings
Thanks for everything that I got
For this ¬ and for everything that I got
