Gratitude (Ngatho) Lyrics

I'm a traveller

On her journey wrote this song with

Gratitude Nī Ngatho na nī Thayū

Peace and Love and Gratitudeīīni

Maugaga Ngatho Ithingatagio ingī na nī maa

See Life is a journey

So every step I take I do with intention yeah

(Na maishani mwangu mimi)

I'm so grateful that our paths crossed when they did

Strangers that led me home

Babies that let me hold them

Lovers that let you get vulnerable

(Kaaī mūtoī)

Munyaka nīūnyakūkagwo woi

Cause I've known magick Known laughter

Learnt lessons of love from loss

It goes full circle and it's not always pretty

But this girl finds every reason to smile

I've time standing still

to grant a wish to a grateful heart

And there's a secret hidden in this feeling

The elders sent me

Said to crack the code with

Gratitude Nī Ngatho na nī Thayū

Peace and Love and Gratitudeīīni

Maugaga Ngatho Ithingatagio ingī na nī maa

Gratitude Nī Ngatho na nī Thayū

Peace and Love and Gratitudeīīni

Maugaga Ngatho Ithingatagio ingī na nī maa

I woke up feeling grateful and inspired

(Siku njema ishara naziona)

There's so much for me to be grateful for

Ta thayū wa Ngoro īī Thayū wa Ngoro

I'm grateful for the air that I breathe

For the Gift of Life From the author of time

For those that stayed and those that left

For everything making its way to me

Life's miracles second chances

Those friends who became family

It goes full circle and it's not always pretty

But in the end the ride is worth the while

Imagine time standing still

To grant a wish to a grateful heart

There's a secret hidden in this feeling

The elders sent me

Said to crack the code with

Gratitude and all the positivity that it comes with

The more that I live the more that I learn

That nothing comes by chance

If you cared enough to look around

You'll see the beauty of life

Ooooh.life is beautiful you'll see

If you're one to be grateful

Nī Ngatho na nī Thayū

Peace and Love and Gratitudeīīni

Maugaga Ngatho Ithingatagio ingī na nī maa

Gratitude Nī Ngatho na nī Thayū

Peace and Love and Gratitudeīīni

Maugaga Ngatho Ithingatagio ingī na nī maa

And I leave it in your arms Jah Jah

I know it's already done

So why have I got to worry?

Why have I got to cry?
