This song encourages children to not only be grateful for even the little positive things in life, but also to express that gratitude. Robert Emmons’ research has demonstrated that individuals who actively cultivate a sense of gratitude experience physical, psychological and interpersonal benefits.

I See It, I Say It (My Attitude of Gratitude) (2:23)

I see it, I say it
I see thankful things everywhere that I go
I see it, I say it
I say thanks out loud so that everyone knows

My attitude of gratitude
The wonder of here and now
My attitude of gratitude
I take it all in and say it out loud

I see it, I say it
The faces and places I pass on the way
I see it, I say it
The music and magic of each night and day

Even when everything seems dark and gloomy
My gratitude attitude keeps flowing through me
I look for the good and guess what I find
When the light is gone, a glimmer of hope
When I'm hanging on, a little more rope
When it's messy and dirty, warm water and soap
All I need to cope is here in my heart and mind

My attitude of gratitude
The wonder of here and now
My attitude of gratitude
I take it all in and say it out loud
