Lyrics

0:07Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
0:10Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
0:13(Yo just count your blessings)
0:14Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
0:16Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
0:18(Better count your blessings)
0:19Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
0:21Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
0:24(Better count your blessings)
0:25Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
0:26Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
0:30(I say to thee well count your blessings)
0:31I remember when I used to get depressed
0:33Overwhelmed by the stress
0:34Feeling my life was the illest mess
0:36Always dwelling on the stuff that wasn't right
0:38And staring at the four walls in my room all night
0:40Searching for a way to cope
0:44The situation shaky like I'm walkin on a tightrope
0:47But now I see it's time to get a handle
0:49And take control of things
0:51So for me I'ma light a candle
0:53And other people got it worse
0:55I get a lot of love so I ought give my thanks first
0:59Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
1:01Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
1:04(Count your blessings)
1:05Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
1:07Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
1:09(Better count your blessings)
1:10Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
1:12Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
1:15(I said you better count your blessings)
1:16Too many times I asked "Why me "
1:18And I recall when things weren't goin how they 'sposed to be
1:22Yeah I know you dig what I'm relayin
1:24And now I find myself devoting more time to praying
1:27I ain't saying that I don't do no wrong
1:30I'm saying I ain't trying to sing no more sad songs
1:33I got mad responsibilities
1:35I'm building with my family my loved ones depend on me
1:38I've got no time for envy nor for hate
1:41My inner power's too strong
1:43To let such evil penetrate
1:44The world around is in chaos
1:46But I'd rather seek the truth to be found
1:49Than to be lost
1:50Experience is always the best teacher
1:53Look at the signs feel the vibes I'm tryin to reach ya
1:56I see how much now that one should be grateful for
1:58And we must help the others who can't find a open door
2:01Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
2:04Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
2:07(Count your blessings)
2:07Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
2:09Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
2:12(Count your blessings)
2:13Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
2:15Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
2:18(Better count your blessings)
2:19Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
2:21Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
2:23(Better count your blessings)
2:24Now as we head into the year 2000
2:26And more and more people can't even get decent housing
2:29Poor education in the schools
2:32And poor employment structures so some choose illegal tools
2:35By all means you know we must survive but think
2:38The energy we give always comes back to us in time
2:41We must decide to make the proper choices
2:43Or the only thing we'll hear is the cries and the screaming voices
2:47Too many times too many times
2:50Too many times too many times
2:52Too many times too many times
2:55Too many times too many times
2:58Too many times I felt bad
3:00Too many times I couldn't see what I really had
3:03Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
3:06Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
3:10(Count your blessings)
3:10Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
3:12Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
3:15(Better count your blessings)
3:16Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
3:18Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
3:21(Better count your blessings)
3:22Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
3:24Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
3:27(Better count your blessings)
Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
(Yo   just   count your blessings)
Too many times I felt bad (count your blessings)
Too many times I couldn't see what really I had
