"Blessings" lyrics - DIANE WARREN

I walked through a hundred fires
How did I get through alive?
I thought, thought I'd never make it
Make it to the other side

I had to suffer through the pain
I had to search to find the strength
To make it through another day
But I did

[Pre-Chorus:]
All the things that's brought me to my knees
Just taught me everything

[Chorus:]
But they were lessons
And they were blessings
I didn't know it then, I know it now
What I had to go through
All I put my soul through
They really shook me up and tore me down
But they were blessings, blessings
And they were blessings, blessings

I've been, I've been through some battles
And I found out how strong I was
I crashed and I hit the bottom
But I found out what I'm made of

There was some tears that had to fall
But there will be no curtain call
I had to rise above it all
So I did

[Pre-Chorus:]
All the things that's brought me to my knees
They taught me everything

[Chorus:]
'Cause they were lessons
And they were blessings
I didn't know it then, I know it now
What I had to go through
All I put my soul through
They really shook me up and tore me down
But they were blessings, blessings
And they were blessings, blessings

[Bridge:]
I had to fall to crawl out of the wreckage
It tried to kill me, but I wouldn't let it
All the things that's brought me to my knees

They were lessons
They were blessings
I didn't know it then, I know it now

[Chorus:]
But they were lessons
And they were blessings
I didn't know it then, I know it now
What I had to go through
All I put my soul through
They really shook me up and tore me down
But they were lessons
And they were blessings
I didn't know it then, I know it now
What I had to go through
All I put my soul through
They really shook me up and tore me down
But they were blessings, blessings
They were blessings, blessings
They were blessings, blessings
They were blessings, blessings
They were blessings, blessings (they were lessons)
They were blessings, blessings
They were blessings, blessings
