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 With out Big Bird or Mickey Mouse And kool 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 I really don't know but I try Thank God for kids And when I look down in those trusting eyes That look to me, I realize There's a love that I 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 And when you get down on your knees tonight Thank the Lord for His guiding light And pray they turn out right Thank God for kids Thank God for kids
