TAKEN FOR GRANTED Oct. 10/83 Karl Rigelhof

When we were young
We had our fun
At the expense of our elders

Now we've grown
And left our home
To live life unsheltered

The truth unfurls
It's a hard world
They told us it was

It's not too late
To appreciate
What they have given to us

CHORUS:
Taken for granted
Take what you please
That seeds that you've planted
Are blown away by the breeze
Taken for granted
Didn't you know
It is better to give
Than (to) receive

No one asked
The gifts of the past
Are never forgotten

It's hard to show
We all know
It happens too often

When we remember
It's always them
That we're thinking of

And every day
We will repay
Them with our love

CHORUS:
Taken for granted
Words you should heed
Taken for granted
It is better to give
Than (to) receive
