Fortunes
Chasing Fortune's Whispers
Lyrics
I don't remember when
I can't recall when
I don't remember when I I lost that feeling
I can't recall when I lost that optimistic feeling
Like anything could happen
Feeling that anything was possible
So long as I kept on dreaming
As long as I continued to dream
But I can recall a time
Recalling a time
When all the flashing lights felt like blessings
When the attention and success felt like blessings
And now I shield my eyes afraid they'll bleed me dry without pity
Now avoiding attention, fearing it will drain me emotionally
I hear children say
Hearing children expressing a desire for recognition
I want the world to know my name
Wanting to be acknowledged by the world
Oh, the quiet nights
Reflecting on quiet, unnoticed nights
Drifting undisguised on a street of strangers
Drifting through a street of strangers
Wondering if by tomorrow morning I will be down to my last dime
Wondering if financial struggles will persist by tomorrow
Where does fortune lie
Questioning where luck and success reside
If they believe that I have no further left to climb
If others believe there's no higher climb for me
Looking down below
Observing others from a higher position
It's rare for them to know just how lucky they are
Realizing they may not appreciate their fortune
I hear children say
Hearing children expressing a desire for recognition (repeated)
I want the world to know my name
Wanting to be acknowledged by the world (repeated)
I hear children say
Hearing children expressing a desire for recognition (repeated)
I want the world to know my name
Wanting to be acknowledged by the world (repeated)
I cannot help but say
Expressing a wish that the world didn't know the speaker's name
I wish the world did not
Expressing a desire for anonymity and privacy
I wish the world did not know my name
Reiterating a wish for the world not to know the speaker's name
