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 theres 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 cant 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 theres 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 cant change, god bless the rest of us, sometimes, lord, its all i can do to breathe, but ill 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 cant change, god bless the rest of us, god bless the rest of us, god bless the rest of us
