Lyrics

The following are the lyrics to a song I don't really like the music to but I love the words. Somehow (through all our money troubles and stress) God has worked on me to truly feel blessed, loved and rich. We're definitely not rich in the bay area sense of the word but we have a nice house to live in, (despite the stress of the mortgage) beautiful children, friends, family, decent jobs, plenty of food (sometimes too much food).

--Here in the silence I say a prayer
Though I've never seen you somehow I know you're there
You're in the faces of the people that I meet
You're as silent as the Earth beneath my feet
So if I should complain that all I have is not enough
Forgive me, I've been given so much
And I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realize in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed
So many changes this world can put you through
Sometimes it's hard to find a way if a heart can get confused
But then I hold you and it all falls into place
You've given me what time cannot erase
So when I'm feeling down or feel sorry for myself
I look around and it's easy to tell
That I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who touched my life
I realize in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed
Every time I look into my baby's eyes
I realize I think of all the friends who touched my life
And I am blessed (I am blessed)
Every time I look into my baby's eyes (I look into your eyes)
I think of all the friends who have touched my life
I realize (I realize) you've given me such peace and happiness
In this world where some have more and some have less
I am loved
And I am blessed
