Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel
I've been blessed by the heavens about
Let me take it back y'all
I can still remember the way that I felt
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I've been blessed by the heavens above
Watchin' music videos and sayin' to myself
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I hope and pray that one day that'll be me
You know I
I've been blessed by the heavens above
(I've been blessed)
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel
(I've never felt this way)
I've been blessed by the heavens above
(Oh I've been blessed, yeah)
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel
(I've never felt this way)
You know
Now there were days when I'd ask
Heaven is it my turn
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I thought I was ready to be a big star
I've been blessed by the heavens above
But there were so many things that
I needed to learn
I've been blessed by the heavens above
Now I'm so grateful for coming this far
I've been blessed by the heavens above

I've been blessed by the heavens above
I can't believe that this is real

I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel
(I never felt, you know)
For just being able
To do what I love to do
I've never felt the way you make me feel
The doors never closed on me
My faith got me though, yeah
I've been blessed by the heavens above
And now that I've got the chance
I'm gonna bring it to y'all
I've never felt the way you make me feel
I'm gonna give it my all
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I've been blessed by the heavens above
