Blessed as I am Lyrics

Blessed as I am to be living in the bosom of beauty

Every day it is my sacred duty

To celebrate this river and the loveliness all around

It's a place of my heart, it's a holy ground

It's a holy ground, it's a holy ground

When I take those walks by the waterside

It seems to call to the river inside, it says

Life may be tough but keep on going

You may feel stuck but keep on flowing

Every time I walk by the river Derbarl Yirrigan

It feels I'm invited to stop and begin again

A chance to leave for a while what afflicts my mind

Not fear the future and leave the past behind

Leave the past behind, wake my heart still my mind

When I take those walks by the waterside

It seems to call to the river inside, it says

If it's tough keep going

When I'm stuck keep flowing

For the good and the bad is the endless ebb and flow of the tide

Yes, the ebb and the flow is the come and the go

Is the up and the down and the round and around

Great wheel it keeps turning and sun it keeps burning

Despite all the tests try to never stop yearning

You're here and you're now you may never return

And the day that you say you have nothing to learn

Says that there is a danger that life you will spurn

Money is easy but merit you earn

Blessed as I am to be living in the bosom of beauty

Every day it is my sacred duty

To celebrate this river and the loveliness all around

It's a place of my heart, it's a holy ground

It's a holy ground, it's a holy ground
