There's plenty of food on the table Lots of love in the house The children all do what they're able to do We got so much to be happy about. I got a woman standing beside me She really knows how to stand by her man She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me She really helps me to be a good man. But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan Look in the shadow to see He only gave us the good things so we'd understand What life without them would be. There's plenty of wheat on the prairies Lots of coal in the mines We got soldiers so strong they can bury their dead And still not go back shooting blind. There's women and men on the workforce Doing forty hours plus overtime So the hostages held at the airport Can come home to something worthwhile. But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan Look in the shadow to see He only gave us the good things so we'd understand What life without them would be.
