Waiting For Luck To Come

Music by Wilfred Kozub & Jamie Philp
Lyrics by Wilfred Kozub

I can?t let you know I?m losing faith - if I did we?d never be the same
I?ll let my sunny side shine, I?ll keep you warm
While we?re waiting for luck to come, waiting for luck to come

I can?t let you think this is the end, but if it is I?ll bounce right back again
I feel so sad to know my promises don?t come true
But I?m waiting for luck to come, I?m waiting for luck to come

I knocked on every door - answered all my mail
Every once in a while it looked like we couldn?t fail
You gotta work hard (lookin? for luck)
You gotta have hope (waitin? for luck)
You gotta get up (lookin? for luck)
You gotta try (waitin? for luck)
Waiting for luck to come

(instrumental/whistling)
I?ll let my sunny side shine, I?ll keep you warm

I looked in every door (waiting for luck to come)
Didn?t need to have much more (I was waiting for luck to come)
You gotta have style (waiting for luck)
You gotta have heart (waiting for luck)
You gotta aim true
You gotta start
Waiting for luck to come

Bridge: Waiting for luck to come
Waiting for luck to come
Waiting for luck to come

You gotta work hard
You gotta have hope
You gotta get up
You gotta grind

You gotta have style
You gotta have heart
You gotta aim true
You gotta start

You gotta have heart
You gotta work hard
You gotta have hope
Never give up
Waiting for luck to come
