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
We were 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
