as easy as our blessings

lately i've been having more nights that i can't sleep

storms of life keep blowing in sometimes it gets so heavy

it drives me to my knees and it's coming down again

then a voice inside reminds me of the roof over my head

and my wife and kids are tucked away warmly in their beds

up in heaven sometimes i wonder if god sits there and listens

to all his children thinking it'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings

suddenly i don't feel like counting what i need

so i start counting what i have when times are at their toughest

my wife still stands by me and my children make me laugh

then i crawl back in bed and start to think as i lay there

could it be that he's already heard and answered all my prayers

it'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings
