The Lucky Ones
Embracing Life's Fortunes
Lyrics
We are the lucky ones, we know the truth
We recognize our good fortune and understand the reality
Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth
Our children resemble us in our earlier years
Generations before us watch over from above
Previous generations are watching over us from beyond
They filled us with faith and they showered us with love
They instilled faith in us and showered us with love
My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart
My daughter loves wholeheartedly like her mother
And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard
My son brings joy when life gets tough
We're lucky that we have their love
We're fortunate to have their love
'Cause some can only dream
Unlike some who can only dream, we value what we have
So I never take for granted what I know means everything
I never take for granted what I know is invaluable
We are the lucky ones
We consider ourselves fortunate
We are the lucky ones
Reaffirmation of our fortunate status
We are the lucky ones, we know the score
We understand the situation we are in
There's you and there's me and those fools at our door
There are outsiders coveting what we possess
They want what we have, but they don't understand
They desire what we have, but lack comprehension
It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands
Our shared secret keeps us connected
We are the lucky ones
Reiteration of our fortunate status
We are the lucky ones
Emphasizing once again our sense of luck
Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock
Time continues passing as we observe
We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block
We've gained wisdom from our experiences
The way that this cruel world turns some upside down
The world's hardships affect some profoundly
It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round
Despite challenges, we remain together
Strange as it seems
Life seems peculiar
I live my life like some sweet dream
Living life like a pleasant dream
One day I'm flying through the air
Experiencing highs and lows
Next I'm danglin' by a string
Life's uncertainties and fragility
Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice
Uncertain if I'm in a difficult situation or risky territory
To have a little heaven here on earth
Despite challenges, experiencing a slice of heaven on earth
Well, hell I'll pay the price
Willing to endure challenges for a taste of paradise
We are the lucky ones
Confirmation of our fortunate state
We are the lucky ones
Reiteration that we are indeed fortunate
