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 no 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
Did you ever stop to think or wonder why
Oh the nearest thing to heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly and a hundred other wheres and whys
You really don't know but you try thank God for kids
When I look into those trustin' eyes lookin' up to me I realize
Love I can't hide thank God for kids

Thank God for kids there's magic for a while...

When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for the guiding light
And pray they turn out right thank God for kids
Mhm thank God for kids
