If it weren’t for kids have you ever thought there wouldn’t be a Santa Clause
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids
And we’d all live in a quiet house without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
Or 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 dearest 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
When I look down in those trusting eyes that look to me I realize
That’s 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 dearest thing to heaven is a child

So when you get down on your knees tonight
And thank Him for His guiding light
And pray they’ll turn out right
Thank God for kids
Ooh, thank God for kid.
