If it weren't for kids have you ever thought There wouldn't be no Santa Claus Or look what the stork just brought thank god for kids And we'd all live in a quiet house without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse And cool-Aid on the couch thank god for kids Thank god for kids there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile Do you ever stop to think or wonder why? The nearest thing to heaven is a child Daddy, how does this thing fly? And a hundred other where's and whys You really don't know but you try thank god for kids When you look down in those trusting eyes that look to you, you realize There's a love that you can't buy thank god for kids Thank god for kids there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile Do you ever stop to think or wonder why? The nearest thing to heaven is a child When you get down on your knees Tonight to thank the Lord for His guiding light And pray they turn out right thank god for kids mmm thank god for kids
