Nothing Is Perfect - Live at John F. Kennedy Stadium, 13th July 1985

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 shadows to see

He only gave us the good things so we'd understand

What life without them would be.

And 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 shadows to see

He only gave us the good things so we'd understand

What life without them would be.

Nothing is perfect in god's perfect plan

Look in the shadows to see

He only gave us the good things so we'd understand

What life without them would be.

And there's plenty of food on our 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

It really helps me to be a good man.

Well nothing is perfect in god's perfect plan

He only gave us the good things so we'd understand.

No, nothing is perfect in god's perfect plan.
