This week's key phrase is "for fortune or for chance."
Another super-busy week. Finished up with 5 gigs in 48 hours. Life is good. Voice is not. At worst... a Hail Mary. At best... a Blue Rodeo rip-off.
lyrics
Of course I'm scared
But I'll live to write another day
We are never quite prepared
But we put the ball into play
We wait and hope and wish for better things
We'd give our lives to see what the future brings
For fortune or for chance
We choose to take the middle road
But God has other plans
We push 'em back, but still we know
There's a place where we could be
It is not safe, but Lord knows we'll be free
Before too long
We stop and change the way we were
Until we're too far gone
We change our minds, don't know for sure
We laugh and cry and pray for better days
We'd give our lives to find a better way
For fortune or for chance
We choose to take the middle road
But God has other plans
We push 'em back, but still we know
There's a place where we could be
It is not safe, but Lord knows we'll be free
- play that harmonica, boy -
We laugh and cry and pray for better days
We'd give our lives to find a better way
For fortune or for chance
We choose to take the middle road
But God has other plans
We push 'em back, but still we know
There's a place where we could be
It is not safe, but Lord knows we'll be free
