Lyrics
Somehow you see
the good in me
You're like a silver lining to a cloud
These ragged jeans
my broken hopes and dreams
they come alive now with your love
Hey, Saint Mary Joseph
you said that I am good enough
you said I'm good enough now to receive
your hand of grace
the warm smile upon your face
and sometimes that's all somebody needs
Hey, Saint Mary Joseph
You said we all are good enough
You say everybody's got a light so let it shine
(Everybody let your light shine!)
Believe, be kind
Give a hungry man your last dime
You might find it'll turn his life around
Hey Saint Mary Joseph
You're a silver lining in a cloud
When I feel alone
When I'm so afraid
You're like the sunshine in the rain
I got no food no place to live
You come, you stay, you give
Ya say that's just the way it's supposed to be
Hey, Saint Mary Joseph
you said that I am good enough
you said I'm good enough now to receive
your hand of grace
the warm smile upon your face
and sometimes that's all somebody needs
Hey, Saint Mary Joseph
You said we all are good enough
You say everybody's got a light so let it shine
(Everybody let your light shine!)
Believe, be kind
Give a hungry man your last dime
You might find it'll turn his life around
Hey Saint Mary Joseph
You're a silver lining in a cloud
You taught me we should all try to be
A silver lining in a cloud
