The Lucky Ones

in #dsound8 years ago (edited)


This is a track of the album "Your Time Is Now", which was released in January 2014. It is about envy. In my story it appears as a person, who is a true companion of the successful and wealthy people - "The Lucky Ones". I also wrote a German version of the song, that I will most probably release in the near future.

Loyal and true he was, in my young days
When popularity was no stranger to me
The times on the sunny side, tender embrace
One of his best friends is called prosperity
Sometimes I didn’t seem to realize his presence
Quite often he appeared in close proximity
You cannot say that he was conspicuous by his absence
Without a doubt he likes the company of

The Lucky ones, the poor and the weak are no attraction
As soon as those days are gone, he leaves without exception

I haven’t met him once, since he’s been gone
And I don’t miss him much, maybe so does he
When loneliness moves in, down goes the sun
And he will disappear, to find new company of

The Lucky ones, the poor and the weak are no attraction
As soon as those days are gone, he leaves without exception

Moving and struggling, from town to town
Almost forgot him and the days of glory
But now the wheel of fortune, spins the other way around
He’s back again. They call him: "Envy"
He likes the company of

The Lucky one, the poor and the weak are no attraction
As soon as those days are gone, he’s back without exception
'cause he likes the company of
The Lucky one, the poor and the weak are no attraction
As soon as those days are gone, he’s back without exception
he’s back without exception

Thanks for listening!
