about

This is the second single from my forthcoming third solo album. It's a song about being thankful for the great people around you.

lyrics

When I'm almost through
I wanna say these words to you,
Wasn't I the lucky one.
Wasn't I the lucky one

When I'm down and done,
When I see my setting sun,
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one.

Some cynical minds might say,
Why wait until your dying day.

When my time has come
All my dreams still left unspun,
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one

When the light grows dim,
When the night comes closing in,
Wasn't I the lucky one,
Wasn't I the lucky one.

Some cynical minds opine,
But they have their own words and I have mine.

When I'm almost through,
I want to say these words to you.
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one,

When my time has come,
No return, not kingdom come,
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one
Wasn't I the lucky one.
