Little Amens
David Hodges
It's been such long hot summer
We're waiting for fall
Some night it's like the world's on fire
Where did we go wrong
There's a fine line between what we get and what we deserve
Oh but gratitude, what a better word
I'm just a man with a dream, some kids, and a wife
Oh, and I think this is the best day of my life
It's been such a cold, cold winter
And we're waiting for spring
The bluebird's out there on the wire
But I can't hear him sing
There's a fine line between what we get and what we deserve
Oh but faith, what a better word
I'm just a man with a job, some bills, and a wife
Oh, and I think this is the best day of my life
It's a Sunday drive
Hands in wind, racing the clouds
It's a Friday night
Hands on the heart, cheer of the crowd
Oh, and I think it's raising a glass
Sharing a drink with a good friend
All these beautiful
All these wonderful
Little amens
On the porch as the Sun disappears
There's a smile on your face
And we gather around the table
Close our eyes and say grace
And I think maybe just maybe we get so much more than we deserve
Like love, what a better word
I'm just a man praying for one more day to get it right
Oh, and I think this was the best day of my life
