If You Get Lucky
Embrace Life's Scars: If You Get Lucky by Logan Mize
Lyrics
If you get lucky
If you experience fortunate events
You'll get a shiner on your eye
You may encounter difficulties or challenges
From the playground bully in the second grade
A reference to childhood experiences and conflicts
And if you get lucky
If you are fortunate in a relationship
She'll make a senior prom promise
A commitment made before a significant life change
Just before she leaves for college out of state
Before someone leaves for college
Your big dreams are gonna look hazy
Your ambitious goals may become unclear
But don't think a thing of it
Dismiss any doubts or concerns about it
When they call you crazy
Ignore judgments of being irrational
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Expect challenges in life
Tripping while you're wishing on a falling star
Struggles while pursuing aspirations
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Accept and embrace personal hardships
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
Create something valuable from emotional pain
If you get lucky
If fortunate circumstances arise
If you get lonely
If you feel isolated or alone
I hope you run across somebody
Encounter someone who positively influences you
That makes you a little better than you used to be
Improvement in personal character
And if you worry
If you experience anxiety or concern
'Cause you think the jones' got it better
Comparing oneself to others
I hope you come back down to reality
Return to reality from unrealistic expectations
Some nights are gonna last forever
Some moments may seem never-ending
The bravest of hearts, babe, they stay together now
Strong relationships endure challenges
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Expect challenges in life
Tripping while you're wishing on a falling star
Struggles while pursuing aspirations
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Accept and embrace personal hardships
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
Create something valuable from emotional pain
If you get lucky
If fortunate circumstances arise
If you get lucky
If you experience fortunate family moments
You'll watch your parents grow old
Witnessing parents aging
But either way you gotta let 'em go
Eventually, you must let them go
If you get lucky
If you achieve partial success
You'll get half of what you wanted but
Expressing hope for enlightenment
Hope you find the light before it calls you home
Find clarity before facing mortality
Hey, you're gonna stumble through the dark
Expect challenges in life
Tripping while you're wishing on a falling star
Struggles while pursuing aspirations
But hey, you'll learn to love your scars
Accept and embrace personal hardships
Make a pot of gold out of a broken heart
Create something valuable from emotional pain
If you get lucky (if you get lucky)
If fortunate circumstances arise
Yeah, if you get lucky
If you experience luck in life
Oh, if you get lucky (if you get lucky)
Expressing hope for continued good fortune
