Jah Sun Life Is A Blessing Lyrics

This one is for the brokenhearted
This one is for the brokenhearted

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
So you gotta be strong everyday
You'll never know
When it's your time to go
O when a heartache is coming your way

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
You better be wise and prepared
'Cause there's a whole lot of pain out there
Nobody ever said life would be fair

I was walkin' down the street
Just the other day
I heard a man with a guitar singing while he play
On the corner with a cup of tin
He sings songs for the people
While they drop their money in

There's clothes on his back
They were covered with dirt
His eyes were filled with pain

And I could tell him in his past
He'd been hurt
He just sat there in the pouring rain
And he would sing

Life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
So you gotta be strong everyday
You'll never know
When it's your time to go
O when a heartache is coming your way

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
You better be wise and prepared
'Cause there's a whole lot of pain out there
Nobody ever said life would be fair

I walked by then he looked me in the eye
He asked me for a legal or a dime
I said he may sound strange
But I don't have any change
But I do have a little bit of time

I sat down and he begin to say The life I hadn't always been this way
I had a house and a property
Job and a family
And there came a very dark day

Like a thief in the night
The love of my life
She was taken away and gone

She was my oxygen
I will never breathe again
I've lost the will to carry on

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
So you gotta be strong everyday
You'll never know
When it's your time to go
O when a heartache is coming your way

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
You better be wise and prepared
'Cause there's a whole lot of pain out there
Nobody ever said life would be fair

(I wait there)
I went back to the corner
Just to hear the old man play
A shop owner said the old man died
On a cold, November day

I stood there for a moment
And when I sadly turned away
I would want to see the old man there
Well, I'm sure I've heard him play
And he'd say

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
So you gotta be strong everyday
You'll never know
When it's your time to go
O when a heartache is coming your way

I said, life is a blessing
But it's full of hard lessons
You better be wise and prepared
'Cause there's a whole lot of pain out there
Nobody ever said life would be fair

Oooh, Ah, Yeah

Jaja hears your cries
