If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
But look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids
And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse
And 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 nearest thing to heaven is a child
Daddy, how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other where's and why's
I really don't know but you try
Thank God for kids
When I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me, I realize
There's a 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 nearest thing to heaven is a child?
When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
Pray they turn out right
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids
