The Fortunate Ones

1st.
All that have eyes, they must weep;
none can know life but not sorrow;
all wakened at birth then must sleep
so all should give thanks to tommorrow.

 

2nd.
Grief is the commonest sore
wounding not flesh but the spirit
but while the mourned may rise no more
grief only kills souls who can't bear it.

 

Chorus:
We are the fortunate ones
who're given to gaze upon sunrise;
remember those hearts who are gone
but don't let the tears become your eyes.

 

3rd.
Spirits may live in the stars
or only bright memories and tears
but old loves wherever they are
wish only us, happiness, to bear.

 

4th.
Live for the life thats moved on
don't leave an emptiness growing
with loves light they'll never be gone
but they have a gift who keep going.

 

Chorus:
We are the fortunate ones
who're given to gaze upon sunrise;
remember those hearts who are gone
but don't let the tears become your eyes
