All things considered, my life has been sweet,
I've always been blessed, with ample to eat.

All things considered, as I stand by the sink,
there's never been a want, of fresh water to drink.

All things considered, I've never known the lack,
through times of misfortune, of a shirt on my back.

All things considered, as I pass along the street,
through the seasons of life, always two shoes on my feet.

All things considered, with this roof overhead,
my fortunes are many, as I rise from my bed.**
