God bless the man who stumbles
God bless the man who falls

God bless the man who yields to temptation

God bless the woman who suffers

God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patience


Trouble getting over it is what you´re in
for so pour yourself another
´cause it´ll take a steady pair of hands


Holy or unholy ghost
Well now I can´t tell but either way you cut it

You should get some distance if you plan
To take a stand


God bless the house divided
God bless the weeds in the wheat
God bless the lamp lit under a bushel


I discovered hell to be the poison in the well
so I tried to warn the others of the curse

But then my body turned on me
I dreamt that for eternity
My family would burn

Then I awoke with a wicked thirst

instrumental break


By my baby´s yellow bed
I kissed to forehead and rubbed her little tummy

wondering if she´d soon despise the smell
of the booze on my breath like her mom
through a darkened mirror I have seen

my own reflection
and it makes me want to be a better man
after another drink.


God bless the man at the crossroads
God bless the woman who still can´t sleep

God bless the history that doesn´t repeat.
