Lyrics

"The Lucky Ones" by Daniel Paul Work c2020 (ascap)
as Recorded by The Noted


Once there was an ugly time
It's even hard to sing this line
Twice that day I had to look away
As strangers fell outside the wall

From the castle up on high, the smoke and fire do not lie
as he watched people left to cry

The King, the jester did proclaim -
we'll beat the dragon in the sky and yet so many will still die


Magically, each night across the land at the same time, our people stand alone
People sang, each night across the land at the same time, together we shall sing


We are the lucky ones, we are the lucky ones.
Safe, safe behind these walls, we are the lucky ones,
We are the lucky ones, the lucky ones



Stuck inside, afraid to meet
Unmask our fears out on the streets
Close the gates, keep evil spirits out
Our magic potions cast no doubt

The town crier had bad news, the knights fought bravely
but still lose day after day, after day, everyday

The King, the jester still proclaims -
we'll win the battle just the same and yet so many died in vane


Magically, each night across the land at the same time, our people stand alone
People sang, each night across the land at the same time, together we shall sing


We are the lucky ones, we are the lucky ones.
Safe, safe behind these walls, we are the lucky ones,
We are the lucky ones, the lucky ones, the lucky ones
