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 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 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 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
