Sudden Gift Of Fate

(Mary Chapin Carpenter) Some people need to know what to expect Need to keep control, need to keep one step Ahead of every chance, as if chance decides Who it's gonna pass, who it will reward They don't understand, chances don't keep score They just find us when we're there to find And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate It's not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate Some people have never been the lonely kind Never called a friend in the middle of the night Just to hear a voice say it's okay
