Default What songs best express gratitude?

I'm putting together a "Gratitude" playlist on my iPod. Was curious as to what songs make all y'all feel thankful. Here are a few I have so far:

Thank You by Dido
Thank You by Alanis Morrisette
Thank You by Led Zeppelin (we're developing a pattern here...)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by the guy whose name is too long to spell
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

What other songs would fit this pattern?

As soon as I saw the title of your thread, that old Gentle Giant song started going through my head:

THANK YOU, for taking me as I am. No better than you
You give me your love, You take it from me
THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard
You spend half your life, just testing the ground
THANK YOU, You like all my funny ways, the things that I do
We both understand, To give and to be

And don't forget about Thank You For Lettin Me Be Myself Agaaaaaaain.....

and something by the Grateful Dead!

I feel a much greater sense of gratitude when i watch stories of incredible hardship and personal strength.

Just look at this story.

YouTube - Patrick Henry Hughes - Inspirational Story

I have watched this clip a dozen times and every time i feel 2 things

a) dumbstruck by the incredible strength of that father and son
b) enormously grateful for the health that I enjoy.

Sometimes I get caught up in the "rat race"... concentrating too hard on trying to get from A to B and then I see something like this and it makes me realise how selfish I am.
