about

This is an optimistic song about love conquering all.

lyrics

(Who are) The Lucky One’s

Who are the lucky ones Can you tell me reasons why/
Is it those who long for peace, as they search upon the skies?
No empty hearts or bellies, no sleeping ‘neath the stars
They’re loved by friends and family, knowing who thy truly are

With food upon the table, and sleep in a nice warm bed
It’s the place we all belong, to be comfortable and fed
Now everyone’s together, to celebrate in life
Beneath the fire’s hearth, on this cold I’d-winter’s night, and tell me

Who are the lucky ones? Is it we, who are the lucky ones? Tell me
Who are the lucky ones ?I believe it’s we who are the lucky ones.

Tell me:who are the lucky ones? Can you tell me reasons why?
Is it those warmed my love beneath this pale blue sky?
Where all the world’s problems seem plenty far away
Because with love the nestle close, and are never led astray

Preach love not hate, be selfless and have charity,
‘Cos in this we recognize, the true meaning of prosperity
Where money has no value, it only helps to obscure
The true meaning in this life is that Love’s the only cure, tell me:

Who are the lucky ones? Is it we, who are the lucky ones? Tell me
Who are the lucky ones ?I believe it’s we who are the lucky ones.

Tell me: Who are the lucky ones , can you tell me reasons why?
Is it those who never tire of giving, and for never asking why?
‘Cos to love unconditionally, those are the ones who truly know
It’s the most important lesson in us learning how to grow

I wish peace upon our planet, to all who live in strife
Be thanks and be humble, be you husband, child or wife
Now everyone’s together, to celebrate in life
Beneath the fire’s hearth, on this cold mid-winter’s night, and tell me:

Who are the lucky ones? Is it we, who are the lucky ones? Tell me
Who are the lucky ones ?I believe it’s we who are the lucky ones. X2
