I had a lot of dreams that never came true,
Things I could have done, but never got the chance to do,
When I couldn't see the path of the storm your wisdom wouldn't let me go that way,
And it broke my heart, but now my heart can say...

Thankyou for the times you said no,
Thankyou for the doors that you closed,
All the ways you never let me go, and the things you never gave me,
So many times I didn't understand, and wouldn't let you take my hand,
Now I want to fall at your feet and thank you for the things you never gave to me.

When I wanted less than what you had in mind,
When I wanted more than I could handle at the time,
When I needed you, but turned you away,
You wouldn't let me slip out of your hand,
I just didn't know, but now I understand.

So thankyou for the times you said no,
Thankyou for the doors that you closed,
All the ways you never let me go, and the things you never gave me,
So many times I didn't understand, wouldn't let you take my hand,
But now I want to fall at your feet and thank you for the things you never gave to me.

Looking back across the years, I can see beyond the tears, and thankyou, thankyou.

Thankyou for the...
Thankyou for the times you said no,
Thankyou for the doors that you closed,
All the ways you never let me go, and the things you never gave me,
So many times I didn't understand, and wouldn't let you take my hand,
And now I want to fall at your feet and thank you for the things you never gave to me.

Times you said no,
Thankyou for the doors that you closed,
All the ways you never let me go,
Things you never gave me,
So many times I didn't understand, wouldn't let you take my hand,
But now I want to fall at your feet and thank you for the things you never gave to me.

To me.
