The Rest Of Us

There are those who wake up every morning

Pull the curtains back smilin at the sun

They hold their head high when the rain is pouring

Lay down in peace when the day is done

Oh, then there's the rest of us



The ones out here blowin in the wind

Tryin to find what we shoulda been

Makin our choices hopin were right

Livin on the prayers we say at night

Tryin to out run the devil and the pain

Learnin to live with what we can't change

God bless the rest of us



There are those who find love the first time

And do what it takes to make it last

They don't have to lose it to finally realize

The sweet sweet gift that they had

Oh, then there's the rest of us



The ones out here blowin in the wind



Tryin to find what we shoulda been

Makin our choices hopin were right

Livin on the prayers we say at night

Tryin to out run the devil and the pain

Learnin to live with what we can't change

God bless the rest of us



Sometimes, Lord, it's all I can do to breathe

But I'll be all right with my brothers and my sisters

Around me



The ones out here blowin in the wind

Tryin to find what we shoulda been

Makin our choices hopin were right

Livin on the prayers we say at night

Tryin to out run the devil and the pain

Learnin to live with what we can't change

God bless the rest of us, God bless the rest of us

God bless the rest of us
