Blessed
We were blessed by the minister
Who practiced what he preached
We were blessed by the poor man
Who said heaven is within reach
We were blessed by the girl selling roses
Showed us how to live
We were blessed by the neglected child
Who knew how to forgive
We were blessed by the battered woman
Who didn't seek revenge
We were blessed by the warrior
Who didn't need to win
We were blessed by the blind man
Who could see for miles and miles
We were blessed by the fighter
Who didn't fight for the prize
We were blessed by the mother
Who gave up the child
We were blessed by the soldier
Who gave up his life
We were blessed by the teacher
Who didn't have a degree
We were blessed by the prisoner
Who knew how to be free
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed by the mystic
Who turned water into wine
We were blessed by the watchmaker
Who gave up his time
We were blessed by the wounded man
Who felt no pain
By the wayfaring stranger
Who knew our names
We were blessed by the homeless man
Who showed us the way home
We were blessed by the hungry man
Who filled us with love
By the little innocent baby
Who taught us the truth
We were blessed by the forlorn
Forsaken and abused
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
Mmm, we were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed
Bendecidos
Fuimos bendecidos por el ministro
Que practicaba lo que predicaba
Fuimos bendecidos por el hombre pobre
Que dijo que el cielo está al alcance
Fuimos bendecidos por la chica que vendía rosas
Nos mostró cómo vivir
Fuimos bendecidos por el niño descuidado
Que sabía perdonar
Fuimos bendecidos por la mujer maltratada
Que no buscaba venganza
Fuimos bendecidos por el guerrero
Que no necesitaba ganar
Fuimos bendecidos por el ciego
Que podía ver por millas y millas
Fuimos bendecidos por el luchador
Que no peleaba por el premio
Fuimos bendecidos por la madre
Que renunció al hijo
Fuimos bendecidos por el soldado
Que dio su vida
Fuimos bendecidos por el maestro
Que no tenía un título
Fuimos bendecidos por el prisionero
Que sabía cómo ser libre
Fuimos bendecidos
Sí, fuimos bendecidos
Fuimos bendecidos por el místico
Que convirtió el agua en vino
Fuimos bendecidos por el relojero
Que renunció a su tiempo
Fuimos bendecidos por el hombre herido
Que no sentía dolor
Por el extraño caminante
Que conocía nuestros nombres
Fuimos bendecidos por el hombre sin hogar
Que nos mostró el camino a casa
Fuimos bendecidos por el hombre hambriento
Que nos llenó de amor
Por el pequeño bebé inocente
Que nos enseñó la verdad
Fuimos bendecidos por los desamparados
Abandonados y maltratados
Fuimos bendecidos
Sí, fuimos bendecidos
Mmm, fuimos bendecidos
Sí, fuimos bendecidos
Fuimos bendecidos
