Bless This Mess

[Verse 1]

God bless the man who stumbles

God bless the man who falls

God bless the man who yields to temptation

[Verse 2]

God bless the woman who suffers

God bless the woman who weeps

God bless the children trying her patience

[Chorus]

Trouble getting over it is what you're in for so pour yourself another

'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands

Holy or unholy ghost well now I can't tell but either way you cut it

You should get some distance if you plan

To take a stand

[Verse 3]

God bless the house divided

God bless the weeds in the wheat

God bless the lamp lit under a bushel

[Pre-Chorus]

I discovered hell to be the poison in the well

So I tried to warn the others of the curse

Then my body turned on me, I dreamt that for eternity

My family would burn, then I awoke

With a wicked thirst

[Chorus]

By my baby's yellow bed

I kissed her forehead and rubbed her little tummy

Wondering if she'd soon despise the smell

Of the booze on my breath like her mom

Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection

And it makes me want to be a better man

After another drink

[Verse 4]

God bless the man at the crossroads

God bless the woman who still can't sleep

God bless the history that doesn't repeat
