Lyrics
Fortune Smiles
The rain it falls from the sky like nails
And cuts loose on its brother the thundering sea
But I am never the one it impales
Cause fortune is smiling on me
And the houses they burn right down to the earth
And leave ash in the eyes of all those who see
But I feel the fiery heat of rebirth
Cause fortune is smiling on me
I am unheralded, I am unarmed
But strong like a fortress I cannot be harmed
And you my friend, you could be my brother
On a mountain unamed by prejudice or fear
That's stood through the storms of millions of years
A blackbird screams a song out like no other
And the wind it pummels the stone into sand
Like a hammer so terrible, tall as a tree
But I hold contentment right here in my hand
Cause fortune is smiling on me
