Fortune

I waited for a sunny day

to launch my grand design

The clouds would loom, the wind would turn

It happened every time

Until at last it struck me:

I should just let it all unfold

The sun is shining somewhere

and Fortune loves the bold.

They laughed and shouted questions

to the fool out in the storm

They thought that I would envy them

all safe and dry and warm

But I think I'm done with staying right

where I've been pigeon-holed

The sun is shining somewhere

and fortune loves the bold.

So now I seize the chance to run

where in the past I've strolled

I've learned that luck won't change itself

it has to be cajoled

And if you wait for sunny days

your tale remains untold

The sun is shining somewhere

The sun is shining somewhere

and Fortune loves the bold.

I waited for a sunny day

to launch my grand design
