"Give Thnx" is a collaboration between two brothers about the importance of gratitude. More than words or appreciation, Give Thnx is a heart posture/mindset that finds joy in all things.
The Album cover reflects our Polynesian cultural “Honi”
a traditional greeting where people greet each other by pressing forehead and noses and inhaling at the same time. This represents the exchange of “ha” the breath of life and “mana” spiritual power between two people.
This is Aisea and Azato’s first track together that comes out of 25 years of friendship.
Give Thanks,
Aisea + Azato
lyrics
Giva give thanks Give thanks now
Giva give thanks Give thanks oh (4X)
Mama told me, "Before you step out the door,
Give thanks to the Lord, Most High"
For my blessings, in my suffering,
Give thanks, Abba by my side
When I worry and when I’m lonely,
Everyting gwa fe be alright
For dem times when I wanna give in,
Jah by my side
Give thanks
For every likkle ting Jah
Bring me in my life
Give thanks
For my trails, tribulation,
Hurt, pain and all strife
Give thanks
For the air in my lungs and
Every breath I breathe
For the sun, for the moon,
For the stars, for sea,
For the you, for the me
I got so much gratitude
Come get you some gratitude
I got so much gratitude
Come get you some gratitude
Giva give thanks Give thanks now
Giva give thanks Give thanks oh (4X)
Yesterday’s gone and
Tomorrow's not promised today
The present is a present
Open Jah love, Jah peace, Jah way
My pain and my scars,
They remind me of where I’ve been
They remind that through it all,
Lawd, You carry me, again and again
Give thanks
Even when your plans fall through
Even when you're sad & blue
Give thanks
Even when you're up to no good
Even when you're misunderstood
Give thanks
Even when dem lie 'bout you
Even when dem try fight you
Give thanks
Even when you wanna give up,
Get up and get down
I got so much gratitude
Come get you some gratitude
I got so much gratitude
Come get you some gratitude
Giva give thanks Give thanks now
Giva give thanks Give thanks oh (4X)
