I didn’t find any pennies on the ground Or any horseshoe facing up Or any four leaf clover And I didn’t get the good half of the wishbone. So why is it me Why I am I the lucky one Why do I get everything I ever ask for
There are people in this world who feel alone Who have no home People who hit rock bottom and there’s no way back up People who know they are at the end I wish that there was no such thing as less or more
Wish that there was no such thing as luck.
Because the karma says They get what they deserve But the thing is Maybe they didn’t deserve it Because maybe were wrong and the world Is just a little unfair Reality Isn’t some piano piece of planned perfection Maybe there are suppose to be holes And mistakes and *****-ups Like there are suppose to be stars and serendipity And sheer strokes of fortune
And I will run miles and miles On a clear and cleaned sidewalk That snakes in circles through suburbs And they will trudge pavement with Ruins and cracks and stains On city streets littered with corruption
For the only fact I’m not him And he’s not me And this is how it’s meant to be Because we had no choice
Sometimes I believe there’s a book With every thing in between your first and last breath planned. So there’s some excuse. So when unjust appears we say There was nothing we could have done different. That everything that happens in supposed. That we were put on this earth with the timer set.
Because luck is just too unpredictable.
And I wish there was something to blame.
And I wish it was fair.
And I wish that every clover we pick had four leaves And every wishbone and horseshoe holds some worth And I wish that every time we are in need We look down and there’s a penny That brings us back to the right track
Because if this world was based on superstitious thought We would live in fear and in fortune and Maybe some people would have a shot.
