Story Behind The Song

Written in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, realizing how lucky so many of us are to have what we do. Makes one re-evaluate what's important in life, and what's just "stuff".

Song Description

To be content with what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have in life.

Lyrics

Lucky
�© Halie Loren 2005

I have a bowl of fruit
A sink that rarely leaks
When I breathe I fill my lungs with air that's sweet
I have a soft bed
A closet full of clothes
When I step outside it's on soil where grass can grow

And I have, I have, I have, I have...Enough
And I need, I need, I need, I need...Nothing else much, I'm

Lucky--this a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede that I've got all that I need to be satisfied
I'll feel lucky all my life

I have a friend to call
A sister to worry about me
If I fall I know someone will help me get back on my feet

And I have, I have, I have, I have, I have...More than I know
And I need, I need, I need, I need, I need...Nothing else to show I'm

Lucky--this is a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede that I've got all that I need to be satisfied
I'll feel lucky all my life.

Sometimes when times when get hard it's hard to believe
Life's not a dry well
But seeing what fades, what lasts, gives me reason to remind myself...
Lucky is a state of mind
My friend, I'm so

Lucky--this is a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede that I've got all that I need to be satisfied
I'll feel lucky all my life.

I have a bowl of fruit....
