The hand I was dealt jim Peterikdanny Vaughn
June 10, 2018
He was driven into the dark
By the cruel hand of fate
As the heat of the flames reached higher
So many of his good friends were lost
Only ashes remained- he wondered why he was spared from the fire
He said there must be a reason that God let me live
Gonna search for my purpose
Give all I can give
Chorus
It's the hand I was dealt- on the day I was born
The difference is all how you play it
Gonna cut from the pack- write my own second act
Gonna make my own luck for the win
Gonna say to those jokers and thieves
Deal me in
Living in a one- bedroom flat
The eldest of five- a family fighting to keep off the street
Mama took her son to the side
It's all in your hands
Till your father gets back on his feet
So he gave up his childhood- took one for the team
He sacrificed all- everything but his dream
Repeat chorus
Bridge
When my friend Billy came back from his tour of duty
His left leg was missing at the knee
Still he smiled like he held all the aces
He said I had a little setback- but soon I'll get my strut back- Miss Fortune- you won't get the best of me
Instrumental
Last pre chorus
So no matter the reason- there's always a rhyme
The view from the top- is well worth the climb!
Repeat chorus
