Can't Lose Them All
Embracing Fortune: A Musical Journey of Hope and Resilience
Lyrics
I got good luck in my pocket
I carry positive fortune with me
And a good shine on my shoes
My shoes are well-polished, suggesting readiness
I got a silk shirt in my closet
I possess a special shirt reserved for important occasions
That I'm not afraid to use
Willing to make use of my best resources
A little fortune cookie told me
Received encouraging advice predicting help
Help is on the way
Anticipation of assistance arriving soon
The tables may be turning
Suggesting a change in circumstances
It could happen any day 'cause
Possibility of positive change at any moment
You can't lose them all
Emphasizes the inevitability of not losing everything
You can't lose them all
Reiteration of the idea that losses are not absolute
No you can't lose them all
Affirmation that complete failure is not unavoidable
I could go down in history
Contemplating the possibility of making history
I could go up in smoke
Acknowledging the risk of failure or disappearing
Could be the center of attention
Considering being the center of attention or the subject of jokes
Or the butt of every joke
Acknowledging the consequences of setbacks
But everytime I get shot down
Facing rejection but finding justification in taking risks
I justify the risk
Justifying risks as they bring one closer to success
Because I come a little closer
Perseverance despite setbacks
To a hit with every miss
Belief in getting closer to success with each failure
You can't lose them all
Reiteration of the inevitability of not losing everything
You can't lose them all
Reaffirming that losses are not absolute
No you can't lose them all
Emphasizing the impossibility of losing everything
Outside my window there's a blue horizon
Observation of a distant but hopeful future
But it seems so far away
The distant future appears challenging
A ray of hope that I can keep my eyes on
Finding hope in challenging circumstances
If I'm playing on the be-team
Whether in a less prominent role or on the sidelines
Or I'm sitting on the bench
Not due to lack of effort or self-assurance
It ain't for lack of trying
Continued effort despite challenges
Or a lack of confidence
Confidence not lacking in pursuit of goals
When I reach my full potential
Anticipating reaching full potential
When somebody gets my drift
Understanding and agreement with intentions
The stars are gonna line up
Expectation of favorable alignment of circumstances
And the tides are gonna shift 'cause
Belief in positive changes on the horizon
You can't lose them all
Reiteration of the inevitability of not losing everything
You can't lose them all
Reaffirming that losses are not absolute
No you can't lose them all
Emphasizing the impossibility of losing everything
