We are the lucky ones, we know the truth
|
Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth
|
Generations before us watch over from above
|
They filled us with faith and they showered us with love
|
|
My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart
|
And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard
|
We're lucky that we have their love
|
'Cause some can only dream
|
So I never take for granted what I know means everything
|
|
We are the lucky ones
|
We are the lucky ones
|
|
We are the lucky ones, we know the score
|
There's you and there's me and those fools at our door
|
They want what we have, but they don't understand
|
It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands
|
|
We are the lucky ones
|
We are the lucky ones
|
|
Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock
|
We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block
|
The way that this cruel world turns some upside down
|
It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round
|
|
Strange as it seems
|
I live my life like some sweet dream
|
One day I'm flying through the air
|
Next I'm danglin' by a string
|
Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice
|
To have a little heaven here on earth
|
Well, hell I'll pay the price
|
|
We are the lucky ones
|
We are the lucky ones
|
