🎵 "The Greatest Blessing"
(by Robert Ramage)
[5 Verses, Chorus, Bridge, Intro & Outro)]
---
[Intro – Spoken or Sung Softly]
They say happiness is just a state of mind...
But most folks spend a lifetime chasing what they left behind.
The truth is—we don't have it all...
But maybe we've already got everything we need.
---
[Verse 1]
The old man sighs, “I'd give it all to feel young,”
While the youth race forward, tryna get life begun.
We’re always reaching, always askin’ why,
But the moment’s slippin’ as the days go by.
---
[Verse 2]
The man with no roof dreams of walls and heat,
While the rich sleep cold in designer sheets.
The sick man prays for another day’s breath,
While the healthy chase deadlines to their death.
---
[Verse 3]
A poor man calls a dollar a saving grace,
While the wealthy man still feels out of place.
A blind soul whispers, “Just one glimpse of light,”
While we scroll through life, barely seeing right.
---
[Chorus]
🎶 The greatest blessing ain't the thing you seek,
It's not the house, the gold, or the winning streak.
It's not what’s lost, or far from view—
It's what you have, right here with you.
Look around, and you might see—
You’ve got the greatest blessing...
If you learn to let it be. 🎶
---
[Verse 4]
The hungry man dreams of a simple meal,
While we waste what others would steal.
A beggar calls a loaf a feast,
While we forget to thank the least.
---
[Verse 5]
The lonely cry for someone’s touch,
While the married sometimes say, “It’s too much.”
The single longs for a loving face,
But freedom comes with its own grace.
---
[Bridge – Slow and Soulful]
Oh, it’s human to wonder, to wish, to roam,
To miss what we had when it's long gone home.
But peace, real peace—it lives within,
Not in what we lose, but what we let in.
---
[Chorus – Repeat with more emotion]
🎶 The greatest blessing ain't the thing you seek,
It's not the house, the gold, or the winning streak.
It's not what’s lost, or far from view—
It's what you have, right here with you.
Look around, and you might see—
You’ve got the greatest blessing...
If you learn to let it be. 🎶
---
[Outro – Spoken/Sung softly like a prayer]
No, we don’t have everything, not at all...
But maybe—just maybe—
We've already got everything we need.
