Lyrics:

When I count all
My blessings
All of my blessings
I can't even be sad any more
Can't even be sad any more

When I count all my blessings, blessings
My heart still hurts for the world that I know, ah
The world that I know

Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting down into the water, missing out under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense and direction, praying for love and protection

Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting down into the water, missing out under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense and direction, praying for love and protection

When I count all my blessings, blessings
Can't even be sad any more
Can't even be sad any more
When I count all my blessings, blessings
My heart still hurts for the world that I know
The world that I know

Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting down into the water, sinking under water
Tell me what is it you care for?
Ooh!

Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Have mercy on me)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Na, na, na, na, I got angels)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Have mercy on me)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (na, na, na, oh)

I got angels (ooh)
Heaven only knows, I got angels (ooh)
I got angels (I got angels)
Ooh, hm
Heaven only knows, I got angels (ooh)

Where the end will go, will we ever know (will we ever know?)
Heaven only knows (ah, ooh)
Heaven only knows, I got angels
I got angels, I got angels (I got angels, I got angels)

Heaven only knows! (Arise, arise)
Heaven only knows! (Arise, arise)
Heaven only knows! (Arise, arise)
Heaven only knows! (Arise, arise)
