Count My Blessings Lyrics - 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 

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
