A priceless experience

I Don't take what you have for granted

I found myself sitting in a park
one evening about dark

As my thoughts began to wander
Over the dad I never had

When I heard a father raise a vioce to his son
My thoughts suddenly went asunder

The little boy frowned
As these words I found

Little boy if only you knew
I would give up a year

Just to hear
My father yell

Don't take what you have for granted

So Don't be sad
Go to bed tonight glad

Sleep warm and know
There is safety all around

Wake up tomorrow grateful
Look at your father and smile

And know that nothing
Can compare to or measure to him

Don't take what you have for granted

For you he would lay down his life
Don't be naive and wander why

And when you are grown
Sitting in a park one day like me

Look back on what forever you'll own
A priceless experience

Oh little boy
How I long to tell you these things

Don't take what you have for granted
