It was a blessing in disguise The truth is always a surprise It's good to lose the things you love Just to see what it's like It only serves to reconfirm You can't have love on your own terms Thank you for opening my eyes It was a blessing in disguise It was a blessing in disguise A foolish move can make you wise A quick thief in the night Will teach you not to moralize Tornadoes, ghosts and the lord of dreams Ah, they're never what they seem Don't try to compromise With your blessing in disguise Thank you sweet blessing in disguise Brother eclipse, and sister night A quick change brings back 'round the sun So I can swim into the sky Sweet Jesus, thank you for bright days Now that the shadow's gone away I can feel that warm sunrise Goodbye, sweet blessing in disguise
