God Bless This Mess
I got some blood under my nails, I got some mud on my face
My voice is shot I'm going grey, these muscles all ache
Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party
I'm smiling most of the time
I may be gritting my teeth, can't get back where we started
These days I'm doing just fine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
I knew every buried body paid for each head stone
I may have led the prayers in public but I cried alone
Found God through sin but this ain't my confession
I'll wait on judgement day
It's lose or win, got no need for protection
Stand up or out of my way
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
The howling doom day dogs are snapping
At your feet round here the
Sky is cracked but won't
Admit defeat
And well it got your back and stood it
At your side this treasure
Chest of rags still keeps this
Dream alive
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize
I must confess, I've lived, I've died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
