A Lucky Man

[zephyr]

I have spent riches

Shared passionate kisses

I have stroked dark silken hair

I have lived through wars

Shared insults with whores

I am a lucky man

 

I have dined with kings

Shared lifes simple things

With those who are close to my heart

I have lived as a lord

The world I’ve explored

I’m truly a lucky man

 

Children I’ve raised

Mopped knees that are grazed

Shared their heartaches, their fears

Held them close to my heart

When they were scared of the dark

I am a lucky man

 

When I arrive at judgement day

No plea for mercy I’ll make

I’ve danced with the devil I’ve sung all his tunes

I’ll not admit mistakes

I’ll laugh out long, I’ll laugh out hard

As my sins pile pain upon pain

Just one thing I want to ask

Let me do it all over again
