Don’t Count My Blessings
2 days agoAria v1
Verse 1
You see the shine, but you missed the storm
Missed the nights I cried ‘til the break of dawn
You see the smile, but you don’t know why
I had to bury pieces just to stay alive
They love to watch when the tables turn
But they weren’t there when the lessons burned
Now they questioning how I rise so fast
Like I didn’t bleed for every chapter in my past
Pre-Chorus
I paid in silence
I paid in pain
Every tear watered seeds you see today
So before you judge what you think I’ve got
Remember—favor comes with a cost
Chorus
Don’t count my blessings
If you didn’t walk my road
Don’t measure my harvest
If you never sowed
You don’t know the prayers
That I prayed in the dark
So don’t get in your feelings
When you see where I start
Don’t count my blessings
Like they fell from the sky
I survived what would’ve broken most lives
So celebrate me—or step aside
This is my season
Yeah, this is my time
Verse 2
I lost some friends on the way to peace
Some couldn’t stand my boundaries
I had to choose between comfort and calling
Between playing small or fully evolving
They say I changed—yeah, I hope I did
Growth don’t ask permission
It just is
I stayed faithful when nobody clapped
Now the same ones whispering wanna double back
Pre-Chorus
I paid in patience
I paid in faith
Held my head high when my heart felt heavy with weight
So before you question why I glow so hard
Know the fire refined me—left me pure gold
Chorus
Don’t count my blessings
If you didn’t walk my road
Don’t measure my harvest
If you never sowed
You don’t know the prayers
That I prayed in the dark
So don’t get in your feelings
When you see where I start
Don’t count my blessings
Like they fell from the sky
I survived what would’ve broken most lives
So celebrate me—or step aside
This is my season
Yeah, this is my time
Bridge (Spoken / Sung – Soul Testimony)
I didn’t win overnight
I endured
I didn’t skip the process
I was shaped by it
So if my joy makes you uncomfortable
That’s not my burden to carry
I’m not bragging
I’m breathing
I’m not lucky
I’m living proof

Mm-mm
They don’t know…
They don’t know…
What it took…
What it cost…
Final Chorus (Lift + Power)
So don’t count my blessings
Just mind your lane
What God gave me
Ain’t up for debate
I walked through fire
And I still shine bright
So if my rise bothers you
That’s between you and your sight
Don’t count my blessings
I earned my peace
Every scar tells a victory
2026—hear me loud and clear
We’re done explaining
Why we’re still here
Outro
Yeah…
Let ‘em talk
Let ‘em stare
I’m too busy living answered prayers
