The hardest part baby is smiling 
when your plans don't work out 
still count yourself a lucky one 

with a God so smart 
we were born with 2 hands reaching out 
a heart that knows the joys of love 
and the stars above, is a lucky one 

CHORUS
oh the lucky ones 
to have these dreams 
to dream at all 
oh the lucky ones 
who never stumble and fall 

blue flame searchin for a hot love 
deep in the city 
is deep in his heart 
searching the scene 
he raises his black glove 
he wants the love 
he don't know where to start 

CHORUS 

A wino wakes up on the street 
and he counts his feet 
sees there's two 
counts himself a lucky one 

with a God so smart 
we were born with 2 hands reaching out 
a heart that knows the joys of love 
and the stars above, is a lucky one 

CHORUS 

they don't know nothing at all
