Lyrics
COUNT YOU RBLESSINGS
I HAVE A SIMPLE SECRET
THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU
ALTHOUGH I'M VERY YOUNG YET
I HAVE LEARNED AN AGE OLD TRUTH
YOU ONLY LEARN THE SECRET
WHEN WHAT YOU LOVE IS GONE
AND I LEARNED ALL ABOUT IT
IN A TIME WE ALL CALLED WAR
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, EVERY ONE
FROM THE SMALLEST YELLOW DAISY
TO THE RISING OF THE SUN
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE
FROM THE SUGAR IN YOUR COFFEE
TO THE CLOTHING THAT YOU WEAR
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
FOR A LIFE THAT'S FILLED WITH GRATEFULNESS
IS A LIFE THAT SETS YOU FREE
IT'S THE WAY TO MAKE LIFE'S TREASURES
LAST ETERNALLY
AND PERHAPS WHAT I HAVE SUFFERED
HAPPENED SO I'D COME TO YOU
TO HELP YOU GROW TO UNDERSTAND
THIS PAINFULLY EARNED TRUTH
LOVE YOUR FAMILY, HOLD THEM TIGHT
DON'T FORGET IN ONE BRIEF MOMENT
YOU COULD LOSE THEM OVERNIGHT
LOOK AROUND YOU, LOOK WITHIN
FOR THE ESSENCE OF COMPASSION,
THEN SEEK OUT A WAY TO GIVE BACK
ALL THOSE BLESSINGS
FOR A LIFE THAT'S FILLED WITH GRATEFULNESS
IS A LIFE THAT SETS YOU FREE
IT'S THE WAY TO MAKE LIFE'S TREASURES
LAST ETERNALLY
AND PERHAPS WHAT I HAVE SUFFERED
HAPPENED SO I'D COME TO YOU
TO HELP YOU GROW TO UNDERSTAND
THIS PAINFULLY EARNED TRUTH
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS (REPEAT)
