The Lucky Ones

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







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
