Blessed

It’s quiet all around
The only sound here in the silence
Are the snowflakes falling down
Just like glitter on the ground
Another year’s come around

Got me thinking back about the times when I had nothing
But big dreams still in my head
That were hanging by a thread
That fueled desire in my chest
But I’m blessed

Looking in the eyes of my children (blessed)
Surrounded by the love I’ve been given (blessed)
Don’t wanna take a moment for granted
Sometimes it’s so easy

To forget, to be grateful for the life I’ve been living (blessed)
I’m learning to have faith in forgiving (blessed)
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens
Just so I remember that I’m blessed

Here we are, together
Taking time for one another
Underneath the Christmas tree
Sweeter than a symphony
It means everything to me
Sharing all our stories of our failures and our glories
Even when our hopes got torn
We made it through the storm
And I couldn’t ask for more
‘Cause I’m blessed

Looking in the eyes of my children (blessed)
Surrounded by the love I’ve been given (blessed)
Don’t wanna take a moment for granted
Sometimes it’s so easy

To forget, to be grateful for the life I’ve been living (blessed)
I’m learning to have faith in forgiving (blessed)
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens

When I’m down and I’m lost, and I’m tired
When it feels the whole world is on fire
Close my eyes and imagine a choir

Even when I feel like a mess
Have to take a good look inside me, yes
In the hurts where I found the holy, I guess
I’ll never be perfect, but I try my best
To remember I’m blessed

Looking in the eyes of my children
Surrounded by the love I’ve been given
Don’t wanna take a moment for granted
Sometimes it’s so easy
To forget, to be grateful for the life I’ve been living
I’m learning to have faith in forgiving
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens
Just so I remember
That I’m blessed
