Lucky People
How lucky you are to start out your day
with someone that acts like they care
A good morning is said in such a way
that nothing else is thought of it anywhere
How lucky you are to live such a life
where you don’t have to wonder at all
about things that will happen or what sits in wait
or what words you’ll hear when he calls
How lucky for you to get all the good
out of your situation that you are in
While others are living a nightmare
watching someone they love live in sin.
How lucky that you don’t have to survive
each day that seems might be your last
You probably don’t even know these days exist
in a person you may have just walked past.
How lucky you are that you’ve made a nice life
for yourself and your family
you probably had all the right tools growing up
why couldn’t that have happened to me?
How lucky for you that you will never know
the anguish that goes on in my life
What a fool I was to think the sadness would end
just because he made me his wife.
How lucky that you have your life all in tact
each persons needs are all met
I can’t help but envy this life of yours
because all I’ve ever had was kismet.
So now I know that you are the lucky
and I am just watching life pass by
I’m waiting for my turn to live in the good
I guess I shouldn’t question why.
