  • We were blessed by the minister
    Who practiced what he preached
    We were blessed by the poor man
    Who said heaven is within reach
    We were blessed by the girl selling roses
    Showed us how to live
    We were blessed by the neglected child
    Who knew how to forgive
    We were blessed by the battered woman
    Who didn't seek revenge
    We were blessed by the warrior
    Who didn't need to win
    We were blessed by the blind man
    Who could see for miles and miles
    We were blessed by the fighter
    Who didn't fight for the prize

    We were blessed by the mother
    Who gave up the child
    We were blessed by the soldier
    Who gave up his life
    We were blessed by the teacher
    Who didn't have a degree
    We were blessed by the prisoner
    Who knew how to be free
    We were blessed
    Yeah, we were blessed

    We were blessed by the mystic
    Who turned water into wine
    We were blessed by the watchmaker
    Who gave up his time
    We were blessed by the wounded man
    Who felt no pain
    By the wayfaring stranger
    Who knew our names
    We were blessed by the homeless man
    Who showed us the way home
    Blessed by the hungry man
    Who filled us with love
    By the little innocent baby
    Who taught us the truth
    We were blessed by the forlorn
    Forsaken and abused

    We were blessed
    Yeah, we were blessed
    Mmm, we were blessed
    Yeah, we were blessed
    We were blessed Writer/s: LUCINDA WILLIAMS
