[G]I wanna thank you world for lettin me belong
I'm [C]just 1/4 of one small group that [Am]sings your songs
I [G]know that there are others who have [C]served in bigger ways
All [Am]I can do is sing your music [D]all my days
It [G]makes me grateful just to know to know that I can be
[C]Unique and fill a spot b[Am]eside the other three
With[G]out a place here [G/F#]in this world I [Em]know that I'd be lost
[C]Thank you world for lettin me con[D7]tribute to the [G]cause
(Repeat Intro 2x)
[G]I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood
But [C]standin on that stage to me is [Am]just as good
Now [G]I may never be a [C]heavy or a break
But [Am]you've given me the strength the strength to [D]pull my way
Oh [G]for the part I sing is truly part of me
and [C]it does its part to lock the other [Am]parts in key
and it [G]does its part to [G/F#]cool cool that [Em]sweet a pose
[C]Thank you world for lettin me con[D7]tribute to the [G]cause
(Repeat Intro 2x)
Oh world youve given me a place that I call mine
Though Ive stepped out of it and Ive gotten out of line
Sometimes I sing the music slightly out of key
and I know I make it harder for the other three
Ive always done my part the very best I could
and its done the other guys a world of good
You've let me sing your praises world and 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 & 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
