lyrics

Every morning you give thanks
For not enough
Yet somehow what was not enough
There in your hands gets broken into
More than enough
For anyone who gets close to you

You've known kindness
You've known cruelty
Seen the beauty only children can see
You've known love
You've known loss
Compassion like yours never comes without a cost

There's a reason
For the things that you've been through

Teena
God must have said
A blessing over you as he broke you
Like a loaf of bread
Teena
Only to be given out to all your friends
And the coolest thing about you
Is you don't even know how cool you really are
Do you
Teena


All you ever wanted to do
Was to break every one of our troubles loose
And watch them tumble down
Like a tree shedding it's fruit
Freed now our branches reaching
Way up to the sky
Like hands reaching up to heaven

Watching you sleep
I imagine that the sunshine travels
Ninety three million miles
Through endless place
Just to caress your beautiful face

There's a reason
For the things that you've been through

Teena
God must have said
A blessing over you as he broke you
Like a loaf of bread
Teena
Only to be given out to all your friends

Teena
I guess God must have said
A blessing over you as he broke you
Just like a loaf of bread
Teena
Only to be given out to all your friends
And the coolest thing about you
Is you don't even know how cool you really are
Do you
Teena
