Lucinda Williams meanders through Blessed one syllable at a time, drawing out vowel sounds as if to commemorate her words while she's still singing them. On the title track she reflects on the past not with nostalgia but with gratitude, thinking of the people who've helped her community survive as piano and distorted guitar build behind her. "Kiss Like Your Kiss" is more wistful-here, the softly played instruments come and go as gently as the wind she describes in the lyrics. Blessed Lucinda Williams.

We were blessed by the minister Who practiced what he preached We were blessed by the poor man Who said heaven is within reach We were blessed by the girl selling roses Showed us how to live We were blessed by the neglected child Who knew how to forgive We were blessed by the battered woman Who didn't seek revenge We were. blessed by the warrior Who didn't need to win We were blessed by the blind man Who could see for miles and miles We were blessed by the fighter Who didn't fight for the prize. We were blessed by the mystic Who turned water into wine We were blessed by the watchmaker Who gave up his time We were blessed by the wounded man Who felt no pain By the wayfaring stranger Who knew our names We were blessed by the homeless man Who showed us the way home We were blessed by the hungry man Who filled.

Album: Blessed (2011). Get the Sheet Music License This Song. This is the title track from the American alternative country singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams' tenth studio album. The song describes people that upend social norms, including a girl who sells flowers on the street setting an example of how to live. Williams told American Songwriter she'd scribbled that particular image down on a napkin. There was this young girl who used to come in and sell roses in this Mexican restaurant we go in. She's not just some girl selling roses. More songs from Lucinda Williams.
