Tired, frustrated, and feeling down
End of the day left you wearing a frown
Your troubles have doubled
And, brother, what can you do?
Here's a little advice, pound for pound
It's guaranteed to bring you around
From an old sob story
To a brand new point of view

Count your blessings when you're feeling blue
It's surprising what a little bit
Of countin' will do
Count 'em when everything goes wrong
Soon you'll find yourself singing a song
Count 'em whether they be big or small
You just might have trouble countin' them all
Your problems will simply fade from view
If you'll just start counting your blessings
Some people today will drive you insane
All they want to do is fuss and complain
About who, what, when, where
How they've been done wrong, for so long
Spend less time in worry, more time in prayer
You'll have a lot less stress
And a lot more hair
If you go down countin', you'll be shoutin'
When you're back on your feet

Count your blessings when you're feeling blue
It's surprising what a little bit
Of countin' will do
Count 'em when everything goes wrong
Soon you'll find yourself singing a song
Count 'em whether they be big or small
You just might have trouble countin' them all
Your problems will simply fade from view
If you'll just start counting your blessings

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Gotta keep on, gotta keep on

Count your blessings when you're feeling blue
It's surprising what a little bit
Of countin' will do
Count 'em when everything goes wrong
Soon you'll find yourself singing a song
Count 'em whether they be big or small
You just might have trouble countin' them all
Your problems will simply fade from view
If you'll just start counting your blessings
Your problems will simply fade from view
If you keep on, sure mon and keep on
Counting your blessings
