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

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
