I used to carry weight I didn't need to hold
Before I realized the value of this heart of gold
I opened up my spirit, let the Lord inside
Found a brand new freedom that I'll never hide
I turned my life around, stepped out of the dark
Let God do the healing on the bruised up parts
Now I'm looking in the mirror at the woman I see
And I'm so in love with the new me
ChorusI am a blessing, my life has meaning
I am a spirit of love and healing
Amanda, you're strong, you're honest and true
With a heart of gold that's shining on through
I'm sweet and I'm gentle, but I'll speak my mind
Leaving the pain and the shadows behind
Verse 2I never bite my tongue when the truth needs space
I'm outspoken, yeah, but I move with grace
Such a loving person with so much to give
I finally found the way I'm supposed to live
I know that I am loved, I can feel it deep down
Since I took the wheel and turned it all around
It's a beautiful thing to finally be free
To just be Amanda, to just be me
ChorusI am a blessing, my life has meaning
I am a spirit of love and healing
Amanda, you're strong, you're honest and true
With a heart of gold that's shining on through
I'm sweet and I'm gentle, but I'll speak my mind
Leaving the pain and the shadows behind
BridgeI'm holding my head up, I'm walking in faith
I know that my soul is in a beautiful place
A tender protector, a voice in the crowd
I'm saying it clear and I'm singing it loud
My life has a purpose, my spirit is bright
I'm stepping out bold in this heavenly light
Final Chorus'Cause I am a blessing, my life has meaning
I am a spirit of love and healing
Amanda, you're strong, you're honest and true
With a heart of gold that's shining on through
I'm sweet and I'm gentle, but I'll speak my mind
Leaving the pain and the shadows behind
