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 cool 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 kids
