Blessed Lyrics

I could have been turned away

Gone astray, a castaway upon a sea

With no guarantee of a journey

With a destination

I could have been left alone

Left to go out on my own

No place to call home

I could have been left alone

Look in my eyes

Now do you see why?

Even through this mess

I've been blessed a thousand times

For one was confined and in a sharp decline

Left were ninety-nine who soon would find

They could all attest

I'd been blessed by the best

Mother could have been ashamed

Searching for placement of blame

Father could have tried to

Uproot my soul, set fire to me

I'd be telling a lie

If I had said that

I had never shared those feelings

Staring at the ceiling fan, is there a rope on hand?

Love came to show

From the ones I feared so

This is how I know

I'm not alone, you're not alone

For I was confined, and in a sharp decline

Left were ninety-nine who soon would find

They could all attest

I've blessed with the best

And I know some aren't so lucky

To have been blessed with such a loving family

But just know, that my purpose

Is to be that love for you as mine was for me, oh oo

For you are confined, and in a sharp decline

Left are ninety-nine who soon will find

They could all attest

You've been blessed by the best
