Bless it All

Lyrics for Bless it All

Bless the friend who has you over for a cup of tea Bless your mama's CorningWare from 1983 Bless this little rental house maybe one day we can buy We're poor as dirt right now, but time's still on our side And bless the year you learned that everything you learned was wrong The year that God was quiet and in his absence you were strong To tell the whole damn story, it's gonna take a thousand songs One day we'll sing about it, bless it all Bless the big oak table passed down through the family Bless your nana's hook rugs that you take outside in spring Bless those sticky hands and fingerprints you have to clean Bless the way their hair curls 'round their ears in little rings And if you do it right, you hope that they will never know How hard it really was, how close you were to the bone And thank God for your sister who picks up those midnight calls One day you'll sing about it, bless it all, bless it all, bless it all One day we'll sing about it, bless it all Bless the year you lost your job and the creditors came calling Bless the envelope of cash you found hidden in the closet Bless those nights you fought and wondered if you'd ever make it Bless every room you walked into, not brave and had to fake it And bless the ups and downs of this big Ferris wheel ride And bless the starting over and the swallowing your pride And bless the bright red maple on the first blue day of fall One day we'll sing about it, bless it all Bless it all, bless it all One day we'll sing about it One day we'll tell the whole truth One day we'll sing about it, bless it all
