FORTUNE

THERE IS FORTUNE IN MY NAME
CURRENCY IN LETTERS
IF THIS LIFE IS JUST A GAME
I’LL TRY TO PLAY IT BETTER

WE ALL STARTED JUST THE SAME
THE HOPEFUL AND THE HOPELESS
ON THE STREETS WE MADE OUR NAME
OUR CONFIDENCE OUR HARNESS

AND I KNOW THE MARKS THEY DON’T SHOW ON THE OUTSIDE
BUT EACH OF US CARRIES A TALE
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS WE WON’T TALK ANY MORE
THE SILENCE BEGINS WHEN WE FAIL
AND I THINK I…

SO WE SEPARATE AGAIN
BUT WHO TO LAY THE BLAME ON
THESE YEARS ARE LAYING CLAIM
TO VALUES I COULD COUNT ON

AND I KNOW THE MARKS THEY DON’T SHOW ON THE OUTSIDE
BUT EACH OF US CARRIES A TALE
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS WE WON’T TALK ANY MORE
THE SILENCE BEGINS WHEN WE FAIL
AND I THINK I MIGHT BREAK
AND I THINK I MIGHT BREAK
AND I THINK I MIGHT BREAK
