On Your Knees Songtext
von Billy Ocean

I give thanks to the creator
Creating everything both high and low
I give thanks to my mother and my father
They had to plant the seed for me to grow

And where I′ve been I never doubt
Reasons within, reasons without

Give thanks my friends today
Life is for a reason
Don't let it slip away
Oh, get down on your knees
And pray, pray, pray, ooh, yeah

I give thanks to the redeemer
Who is showing me the way to go
I give thanks and always will remember
What was written down for us to know

Oh, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
But faith in my heart opened my eyes


Give thanks my friends today
Life is for a reason
Don′t let it slip away
Oh, get down on your knees
And pray, pray, pray, oh

Give thanks my friends today
Life is for a reason
Don't let it slip away
Oh, get down on your knees
And pray, pray, pray

Whoa, whoa, oh yeah
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
But faith in my heart opened my eyes

Give thanks my friends today
Life is for a reason
Don't let it slip away
Oh, get down, oh, get down
And pray, pray, oh pray, oh yeah

Give thanks my friends today
Life is for a reason
Don′t let it slip away
Oh, get down, oh, get down
And oh, pray, pray (pray, pray, pray)


Ooh, give thanks, give thanks, give thanks
(Life is for a reason, don′t let it slip away) don't let it slip away
Oh, oh, get down on your knees, pray (pray, pray, pray)

(Life is for a reason, don′t let it slip away)
Oh, get down on your knees
Pray, pray, pray, ooh yeah (pray, pray, pray)
Get down, get down
(Life is for a reason, don't let it slip away) get down
Oh, get down
