Blessings in Disguise

[Chorus]
Take these blessings in disguise
As they tear apart my life
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high
All these lessons in my life
They're just blessings in disguise
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high

[Verse 1]
What if I never make it out alive?
What if I stop reachin' out to God?
And picked up a bottle, went back to usin'
Quit the music, stopped producin'
And threw it to feel a temptin' high
What if I never knew my nieces' name?
What if I never saw my mother's grave?
Ironically, thе key points of reality for me
It's whеre the message is, take both have brought me here today
If I could make a wish and throw the bottle up
Then momma might still be here
Might still sleep here, but if I never battled and I gave it up
I would not have seen the evil man, I've seen it all
And I would not have gained a story
I would not have hope for people seeking glory
Wouldn't have the wisdom that I gained
From all the hell that I done been through
I would not have nothin' that is pain
And all these memories I give to

[Chorus]
Take these blessings in disguise
As they tear apart my life
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high
All these lessons in my life
They're just blessings in disguise
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high

[Verse 2]
Uh
And I can talk it good, but can I live it?
And am I really here to make a difference?
They say everything that happens has a reason behind it
But often I just find myself second-chance wishin'
I wish then I could go back into time
Way before I put that thing up in my arm
Or way before I put that pill up on my tongue
I'm talkin' way back when I was a young'un
I would follow everything that came from mom
Every decision I ever made
If God was here today, and
Said we can get her up out the grave
If you just promise that the path you took
You'll change and take a different way
Then we can bring her back
So Evan look her in the face and say it
"Mom, I'm gonna change"
But I know what my momma would say:
"It's bigger than that
It's bigger than just us
I want you to promise that you wouldn't change a thing
And that you'll take your story, bring it to the angels
Let 'em sing it baby"
I promise momma

[Chorus]
Take these blessings in disguise
As they tear apart my life
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high
All these lessons in my life
They're just blessings in disguise
Fallin'
Fallin' to take me high

[Outro]
Let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Above the water
Let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Above the water
Let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Above the water
Let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Let me up, let me up
Let me up
Above the water
