I Am Blessed
Discovering Love's Treasure: I Am Blessed by Nina Simone
Lyrics
I who never had much
I never had much in my life
I now have a treasure
Now I possess a valuable and cherished possession
A love too great to measure
Experiencing a love that cannot be quantified
I am blessed with happiness
I am fortunate and filled with joy
And I'm done with loneliness
I have overcome loneliness and found contentment
I who walked all alone not really knowing
I used to walk alone, uncertain of my path
'Til now just where I was going
Until now, I didn't know where I was headed
I am blessed because this day
Feeling blessed because on this day, you showed me the way
You came, show me the way
You came into my life and provided direction
'Til now I was like a grain of sand
Previously, I was insignificant like a grain of sand
Lost on a lonely beach
Lost and isolated on a desolate beach
Yes 'til now I could never understand
Now I understand that what I desire is attainable
That this was within my reach
Realizing that my dreams are within reach
I who cried to the moon see only sunshine
Previously, I lamented in darkness, but now I see only brightness
Because darling you're mine
Because you, my darling, belong to me
I am blessed with wealth untold
I am blessed with immeasurable wealth
A love worth more than gold
A love that is more valuable than gold
