Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Like dust in the wind sand slips through your fingers

Similar to shattered dreams that still linger

Trying to succeed in whatever you do

But the failures of the past seem to laugh and mock you

I'm worse than a has been? 'Cause you say I never will be

I'm just tryin to excel so you feel me

'Cause boundaries are made to be broken

And I'm leavin' all the namesayers chokin'

On the dust that I'm kickin' up behind me

It's difficult findin' words to define me

The hick hop cowboy from the D-A-double L-A-S

So fresh in the contest

Rockin' stages like Guns and Roses

I been flowin' since Madonna was strikin poses

I can't quit now 'cause there's too much buzz

And I'm gettin my chance because...

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Count your blessings, can't you see?

He's smilin' on you - and smilin' on me

I remember the days sittin' in the pews

When I heard the preacher sayin', "Spread the news!"

I was feelin' the blues 'til I had a chance to choose

Now I feel the love to the soles of my shoes

Try to walk in a path of the guiding light

I thank the Lord for everything when I pray at night

'Cause I can feel His strength, I can feel His power

He's the one I turn to in my darkest hour

Try to be a good man, never called a saint

Never walked on water so I know I ain't

I might swim in the whiskey,

But I'm bathed in the blood of the Lamb

If you want peace raise your hand

And when Heaven comes, it won't be no drama

And if you see her first say "Hi" to my mama

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Somebody's Smilin' On Me

Count your blessings, can't you see?

He's smilin' on you - and smilin' on me
