HIVE OPEN MIC 145 / Beautiful Day cover by TOUBIE.

This morning, I received a rather sad news that someone who was like a guardian to me had passed on.

It was so sad because everyone knew him as a good man and he was loved by many.
While I thought of all the times he'd been there for me, I couldn't help but stay grateful that at least, I was able to meet someone like him in my lifetime.

So today, I want to do this rendition of Beautiful Day with a verse I wrote, to say that irrespective of what's happening with me and around me, I'll stay thankful.

A part of the song says "thank you for joy, thank you for pain".
This is the mantra I have chosen to live by and I hope to stay thankful forever come what may.

Do enjoy.

Lyrics.

I don't wanna act too high and mighty cos tomorrow I may fall down on my face

Lord I thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain, thank you for joy, thank you for pain, it's a beautiful day ay ay ay ay, it's a beautiful day.

Verse
Lord I want to thank you for sunshine, lord I want to thank you for rain, lord I want to thank you for blessings thank you keep raining on me.
Lord I want to thank you for health, lord I want to thank you for wealth, and I know it's your grace that had brought me thus far.

I don't wanna act too high and mighty cos tomorrow I may fall down on my face

Lord I thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain, thank you for joy, thank you for pain, it's a beautiful day ay ay ay ay, it's a beautiful day.

Lord I want to thank you for sunshine, lord I want to thank you for rain, and I know it's your grace that had brought me thus far.

I don't wanna act too high and mighty cos tomorrow I may fall down on my face

Lord I thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain, thank you for joy, thank you for pain, it's a beautiful day ay ay ay ay, it's a beautiful day.
