This is what happens when we are lucky.
Too many songs to choose from – just keep em all …
Verse 1
We woke in beds,
The house was still,
Morning came
Against our will.
The kettle boiled,
The light came on,
Nothing broken,
Nothing gone.
Verse 2
We stepped outside,
We saw a man
Sleeping rough
Without a plan.
Cardboard thin,
A paper cup,
We walked past,
Our heads still up.
Verse 3
We went to work,
The day ran true,
Familiar faces,
Things to do.
Chairs were filled,
Voices clear,
Everyone we love
Still here.
Chorus
Lucky me,
Lucky me,
Not because
We earned a thing.
Lucky me,
Lucky me,
Just the way
The dice can swing.
Verse 4
We came back home
At end of day,
Keys still fit,
Doors still stayed.
Food was shared,
The TV played,
Ordinary peace
That never stays.
Bridge
It could be us,
Another turn,
Another loss,
Another burn.
So hold it close,
Don’t look away,
This luck won’t last
Forever, say.
Final Chorus
Lucky me,
Lucky me,
Here today
And still free.
Lucky me,
Lucky me,
Knowing now
What this could be.
