[Verse 1]
Oh curl your toes as you would by the fire
Try to catch your life as it grows higher
Oh close your eyes and you'll see what I mean
Blessings in shades of where I've been

[Verse 2]
Oh watch the mole as he buries in the dirt
Ask him why he hides, what is it hurts?
He'll answer with a question: "Aren't I escaping just like you?
Blessings in shades of what I do."

[Verse 3]
Oh see the curl in your hair as it grows
Wonder where it's going, no one knows
Oh see me smile as I say I want to live
Blessings in shades of what I give

[Verse 1 Reprise]
Oh curl your toes as you would by the fire
Try to catch your life as it grows higher
So close your eyes and you'll see what I mean
Blessings in shades of where I've been
