Let It Be Thanksgiving

[Intro] (Instrumental intro featuring acoustic guitar and gentle piano, setting a warm, reflective mood) [Verse 1] The leaves are turning, crisp air blows Down the highway, everybody knows It's time to gather, near and far Beneath the light of the evening star The kitchen's humming, smells so sweet A welcome place for weary feet A table set with love and care For every soul who gathers there [Chorus] So let it be Thanksgiving, let the spirit fill the air With grateful hearts and simple prayers for blessings everywhere Let it be Thanksgiving, through the laughter and the cheer Hold the ones you love so dear, let it be Thanksgiving this year [Verse 2] The harvest gathered, stored away Reflecting on a brighter day Stories shared from times gone by Underneath a golden sky The young ones playing, full of grace A smile on every elder's face A moment paused, a thankful sigh Beneath the vast and open sky [Chorus] So let it be Thanksgiving, let the spirit fill the air With grateful hearts and simple prayers for blessings everywhere Let it be Thanksgiving, through the laughter and the cheer Hold the ones you love so dear, let it be Thanksgiving this year [Bridge] For the hands that worked the land For the peace throughout our land For the warmth against the cold For the stories to be told For the shelter, for the bread For the living, not the d**d For the chance to say out loud What makes our grateful hearts feel proud [Chorus] So let it be Thanksgiving, let the spirit fill the air With grateful hearts and simple prayers for blessings everywhere Let it be Thanksgiving, through the laughter and the cheer Hold the ones you love so dear, let it be Thanksgiving this year [Outro] (Instrumental outro, repeating the main melody gently on acoustic guitar and piano, gradually fading to silence)
