Lucky -

Freedom is difficult to gain

And even then difficult to keep

They think you’re going astray

And send the dogs to round you up like sheep

One famous pirate was told

As his trial came to the end

«You wouldn’t die like a dog

If you had fought like a man»

Maybe I’m lucky

Or maybe I’m lucky

In another way

As fate has been good enough to me

The biggest treasure

That I could ever find

Is just enough happiness for me

Skeletons in the iron cages

Hanging from the execution docks

Never deter their brethren

A pack doesn’t turn into a flock

Judges in powdered wigs

Always declare they’re right

But I’m somehow unconvinced

Strike their gavels as they might

Maybe I’m lucky

Or maybe I’m lucky

In another way

As fate has been good enough to me

The biggest treasure

That I could ever find

Is just enough happiness for me

Treasure may lie under the X

But you have to get there somehow

Carefully selecting your path

Trying to account for the unknown

There’s no time to lose

If you’ve got anything to gain

Dreams have nothing to prove

They just come to you to entertain

Maybe I’m lucky

Or maybe I’m lucky

In another way

As fate has been good enough to me

The biggest treasure

That I could ever find

Is just enough happiness for me
