Blessed and lucky (Natalie Merchant)

  These are the days.  

  

These are the days you’ll remember. 

Never before and never since, I promise, 

will the whole world be warm as this. 

And as you feel it, you’ll know it’s true 

that you are blessed and lucky. 

It’s true that you are touched by something 

that will grow and bloom in you. 

  

These are the days you’ll remember. 

When May is rushing over you 

with desire to be part of the miracle 

you see in every hour, 

you’ll know it’s true 

that you are blessed and lucky. 

It’s true that you are touched by something

that will grow and bloom in you.

These are the days.

These are the days you might fill with laughter

until you break.

These days you might feel a shaft of light

make its way across your face,

And when you do,

you’ll know how it was meant to be,

see the signs and know their meaning.

It’s true.

You’ll know how it was meant to be.

Hear the signs and know they’re speaking

to you, to you.

(At a time when so many celebrations are taking place, 

let's remember to remember how blessed we are 

on this particularly lovely day in May.)
