Count My Blessings - The Nylons

In and out

Of situations

I take the good with the bad

Ups and downs

Get complicated

But I don’t have the right

To be sad

How about the children who are hungry

And never get to eat

How about the people who are homeless

Sleeping in the street

Every night

Before I go to sleep

I count my blessings

Instead of sheep

I say a prayer

My soul to keep

I count my blessings

When I hear

The sound of complaining

I put my hands to my ears

Think of those

Whose lives have been taken

And thank the Lord I am here

I’ve got some money in my pocket

A hand I can hold

Somebody standing by me When the winter gets too cold

Chorus

I’d give some away

Share in my good fortune

Hear

Hear me when I say

I’ll give some away

How about the people who are starving

And never get to eat

How about the children in the desert

Dying from the heat
