Lucky
You got lucky
Lucky when we met
Lucky in my perceptions
Lucky in my depths
Like a fortune in a cookie
Like a gambler at the table
It’s all on the line
And destiny’s unstable
Peeling back the layers
Getting to the heart
Uncovering the mysteries
Of all that’s deep and dark
A meeting that was chance
Odds a thousand to one
Still came out on top
Obscurity undone
Put you on the path
And turned you around
Gave you a new insight
Put your feet back on the ground
When all is said and done
I gave it all to you
And what you take away
Is more than what you knew
Yah, you got lucky
