I wrote this one thinking about how we make our choices in life, why sometimes we don't think things through, and how our actions reflect deep beliefs about "the way things work."
These are songs that I finished this month but did not have time to record! Darn it. Next time! xo
When you started out to get to where you’re at
Did you roll some dice, or did you check the map
Did you do some preparation
Or just fly by inspiration
With the hope the Holy Ghost would fill the gaps
When you left the place you were for where you are
Did you take some time to pick your plan apart
Or did you run into the open
Fling your spirit forward, hoping
You would happen to stay happy and unharmed
Well luck might be a lady
She’ll help a few times maybe
But she didn’t write the patterns in the stars
Luck might be a lady…
But fate is the woman in charge
Fate is the woman in charge
Is your life’s casino full of frantic spins
Where the signs say that you probably will win
So you fling your money at it,
And you pray to some old magic
And the dealer says you’d better go all in
A beauty in a redress racks a mile and waves goodbye
And the wheel starts spinning failures, and you never wonder why
Well luck might be a lady
She’ll help a few times maybe
But she didn’t write the patterns in the stars
Luck might be a lady…
But fate is the woman in charge
Fate is the woman in charge
If life is only chaos, then it’s easier to hide
All the choices where you weren’t really conscious of your life
But there’s a voicemail on your phone, or a friend that you should call
There are people back at home who’d love to catch you when you fall
And you’re angry at yourself for even coming here at all
But you’ve lost all of your money, and it’s all the systems fault
So you keep dodging the lesson, you keep drowning out the voice
Of your life, calm and insistent, that you really have a choice
Of how you think the way you think and how you do the things you do
There’s a pattern and some luck, but who you trust is up to you…
Luck might be a lady,
She'll help a few times maybe
But she didn’t right your pattern in the stars
Luck might be a lady
But fate is the woman in charge
Fate is the woman in charge
Fate is the woman in charge

Luck might be a lady but fate's the woman in charge! Love it!
Everything flows well and the bridge is stand out.
"There’s a pattern and some luck, but who you trust is up to you…" - This!
Well said. Love it
