I wanna thank you, world, for lettin' me belong
I'm just 1/4 of one small group that sings your songs
I know that there are others who have served in bigger ways
All I can do is sing your music all my days
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be
Unique and fill a spot beside the other 3
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood
But standin' on that stage to me is just as good
Now I may never be a heavy or a break
But you've given me the strength, the strength to pull my way
Oh for the part I sing is truly part of me
and it does its part to lock the other parts in key
and it does its part to cool, cool that sweet-a pose
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Oh world, you've given me a place that I call mine
Though I've stepped out of it & I've gotten out of line
Sometimes I sing the music slightly out of key
and I know I make it harder for the other 3
I've always done my part the very best I could
and it's done the other guys a world of good
You've let me sing your praises, world, & about your faults
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be
Unique and fill a spot beside the other 3
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
