Story Behind The Song

I wrote this to tell the story of my life...and how fate has played a huge role.

Song Description

This song tells a story about life changing events that did not really seem like life changing events at the time.

Lyrics

**** FATE ****
(SHERRI MULLEN)



GOD DROVE MY CAR TODAY
AS THE STEEL FLEW ALL AROUND ME
SOMEHOW I FOUND THE LANE
AND MADE IT THROUGH UNSCATHED

I HELD THE DOOR TODAY
FOR SOME HOT LOOKING GUY
WHO HAD A BROKEN LEG
NEXT WEEK WE HAVE A DATE

(CHORUS)
LIFE IS FUNNY HOW WE MUDDLE THROUGH
AND THINGS JUST HAPPEN ? AND IT CHANGES YOU
AIN?T IT GREAT
IT?S SOMETHING THEY CALL FATE

TALKED TO THE GUY DOWN AT THE MUSIC STORE
WHEN HE SOLD ME THAT GUITAR
I HAD NO WAY TO UNDERSTAND
THAT IT WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE

I FACED DEATH TODAY
AS MY FRIEND WAS LAID TO REST
I VOWED I?D MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT
THEN I QUIT MY JOB

(CHORUS)
LIFE IS FUNNY HOW WE MUDDLE THROUGH
AND THINGS JUST HAPPEN ? AND IT CHANGES YOU
AIN?T IT GREAT
IT?S SOMETHING THEY CALL FATE

(BRIDGE)
LIFE IS A CIRCUS AND WE ARE THE CLOWNS
CAUSE WE KEEP SMILING EACH TIME WE FALL DOWN

I SANG A SONG ONE DAY
IN A ROOM FULL OF STRANGERS
WHO DIDN?T KNOW MY NAME
NOW I?M ON A PLANE
GOING TO ANOTHER TOWN

(CHORUS)
LIFE IS FUNNY HOW WE MUDDLE THROUGH
AND THINGS JUST HAPPEN ? AND IT CHANGES YOU
AIN?T IT GREAT
IT?S SOMETHING THEY CALL FATE
