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
