If it weren't for kids
Have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
But, look what the stork just brought.
Thank God For Kids!

And we'd all live in a quiet house,
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
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 wheres and whys
I really don't know but I try
Thank God For Kids!

When I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me, I realize
There's 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!

When you get down on your knees tonight,
And thank the Lord for His guiding light;
Pray they turn out right,
Thank God For Kids!

Thank God For Kids!
