Grateful
This gospel ballad from Scott Alan's latest album "Lifeline" sends a powerful yet simple message -- I AM GRATEFUL! The lyrics and melody stay uncomplicated and sincere throughout the entire the piece, which builds from a solitary soprano soloist to a dramatic final chord swell. Designed for younger choirs, the arrangement is mostly homophonic but does feature a polyphonic bridge leading to the final chorus.

I will use my heart to trace the wind I will use the wind to soar And I won't let another day go by And not see what God has in store I am grateful I am grateful I have walked alone But these walks led me home So I am grateful I'm now open to receive the gifts That I blindly could not see I've removed these shackles on these wrists To live a life that's free And I am grateful I am grateful Life may close a door But there always will be more I am grateful Watch the light start to ascend And hope start to lift its head I am grateful I am grateful And if you open up your eyes Life is filled with surprise And I am grateful (Scott Alan)
