NOTHING IS PERFECT
There's plenty of food on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what they're able to do
We got so much to be happy about.
I got a woman standing beside me
She really knows how to stand by her man
She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me
She really helps me to be a good man.
But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
What life without them would be.
There's plenty of wheat on the prairies
Lots of coal in the mines
We got soldiers so strong they can bury their dead
And still not go back shooting blind.
There's women and men on the workforce
Doing forty hours plus overtime
So the hostages held at the airport
Can come home to something worthwhile.
But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
What life without them would be.
And there's plenty of food on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what they're able to do
We got so much to be happy about.
I got a woman standing beside me
She really knows how to stand by her man
She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me
It really helps me to be a good man.
But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand.
No, nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan.
