The Lucky Ones

The Lucky Ones - Carlene Cater

We are the lucky ones

We know the truth

Our daughters and sons

Just like us in our youth

Generations before us

Watch over from above

They filled us with faith

And they showered us with love

My girl's just like her mama

Loves with all her heart

And my son keeps me smilin'

When life seems too hard

We're lucky that we have their love

'Cause some can only dream

So I never take for granted

What I know means everything

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We know the score

There's you and there's me

And those fools at our door

They want what we have

But they don't understand

It's a secret that keeps us

Still holdin' hands

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

Time keeps on tickin'

While we watch the clock

We learn from mistakes

Yeah we've been around the block

The way that this cruel world

Turns some upside down

It's amazing to me

That we're still hangin' 'round

Strange as it seems

I live my life

Like some sweet dream

One day I'm flying through the air

Next I'm danglin' by a string

Tell me am I walkin' on coals

Or treadin' on thin ice

To have a little heaven

Here on earth

Well hell I'll pay the price

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

Lucky ones

We are the lucky ones
