Lyrics
Fortune
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From ancient times to the present day
There have been those who have claimed be as a lover
So driven by the will to move up
Have pursued it to the very ends of the earth
She enters into it, it enters into us
She enters into it, it enters into us
As the wheel spins and turns the fortunate ones are seen to emerge
She enters into it, it enters into us
Fortune smiles upon our heads
Mistakenly we cling to ber warm embrace
How easily we seem to forgive and forget
Lost within the security of our new foud wealth
There are those of you among us
Bearing vacating 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 ber warm embrace
How easily we seem to forgive and forget
When lost in the security of our new foud wealth
