Had this idea for a while now and it fit right in with my appreciation of life theme for the new album 2X2L. Truly we are blessed, in some kind of way.

Story behind the song
Another theme that runs throughout the album 2X2L is appreciaction of life. I had this idea for a song for quite some time. Can't beleive I actually was able to pull it off becasue it's 95% close to what was in my head. It was a difficult song to pull together in places and beacuse of that I didn't think most people would like it. Ironically I'm currently getting the most positive reviews about this song. It is actually a two section song and is featured and listed as two seperate tracks on the CD. Track 5 You Are! and track 6 State Of Independant Grace. Firstly there is the upfront feelgood rocker and then secondly there is this instrumental, ethereal approach in sound and vision. I feel these two should stay connected hense the extended length of the song.
Lyrics
Gonna shake my legs and jump for joy Gotta clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy Because I'm blessed Yeah blessed I know I am blessed I am blessed Yeah blessed Got 12 guitars and a place to be Can see so far as two rivers meet Ain't talkin religion Just feeling grateful Blessed Yeah blessed I know that I'm blessed I'm blessed Your blessed Though we're aware Of other's misfortunes Most of us care Because we know the wages Not just by opening Our wallets or purses More to the faith And less what it buys If faith is a ritual Then love is a verb To return to the altar To begin again, again, again... guitar solo Last time I told you Faith is a ritual No love included Wash away standards Be open hearted To return to the altar again, and again, and, again Blessed Your blessed We don't know how we're blessed I'm blessed Your Blessed Got all my toys And my silicon beats Connected by a thousand strands Pointless to pause To withstand the heat Cause we're blessed Yeah blessed organ solo
