Fortune

From ancient times to the present day
There have been those who claimed her as her lover
So driven by the will to move up
Have pursued her to the very ends of the earth
She enters into it enters into us
As the wheel spins and turns
The fortunate ones are seen to emerge
She enters into it enters into us

Fortune smiles upon our heads
Mistakenly we cling to her warm embrace
How easily we seem to forgive and forget
Lost within the security of our new found wealth

There are those of you amongst us
Bearing vacant faces and empty smiles
Their fates have already been decided upon
They will leave behind them only victims of their misplaced trust

Fortune smiles upon our heads
Mistakenly we cling to her warm embrace
How easily we seem to forgive and forget
When lost within the security of our new found wealth
