Blessing (Studio Version)

I'm taken aback by allegations,
I've misdirected my life.
I've changed, I'm a different man

How I love ain't right.
But I only wish you'd understand
Who I love is exactly what God has planned.
Just try to remember...

That I'm still your baby, your blood,
Have your eyes, have your smile.
And I'm sorry this hurts you,
I'm sorry this numbs you.
But I'm not ashamed of this fire I've inflamed.
I was given this gift to love from heaven's hands.
Don't abandon me now for loving another man.
All I ask is in time, you'll give me your blessing.

I know deep down you love me,
I could use that love right now.
I know time heals the hurting,
I just hope you'll come around.
Cause I'm finally proud to state who I am.
Your close minded thoughts won't leave me condemned.
And I'm sorry this hurts you...

But I'm still your baby, your blood,
Have your eyes, have your smile.
And nothing has changed here,
I'm still the same.
You taught me to love with my heart, I still do.
I was given this gift to love from heaven's hands.
And I know this is not the life that you had planned.
But I ask that in time, you'll give me your blessing.

Cause I couldn't remain living inside this lie.
Every day that I did more and more of me died.
I'm just here to remind you...

That I'm still your baby, your blood,
Have your eyes, have your smile.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
And I'm sorry you're wounded.
But I'm not ashamed of this fire I've inflamed.
I was living this life for somebody else.
Now this is my chance to live it for myself
All I ask is in time, you'll give me your blessing
Your blessing
