This morning I picked up a paper
I read about tragedy I stopped and
I realized that it could've been me oh oh
That could've been my mother
Or maybe even my big brother
But you kept them just like you kept me
I want to tell you that
[Chorus:]
God has smiled on me
He has set me free
God has smiled on me
He's been good to me
Now I've been through some things that
I thought were unnecessary
Were way too much to carry
All by myself
