god must have my fortune laid away

god has my fortune laid away

oh

the world is full of people with money just to burn

affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn

some can take life easy but i live from day by day

god has my fortune laid away

i search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain

the hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame

pockets that stay empty

dreams that go astray

god has my fortune laid away

oh how often i have wondered why some things have to be

some people live in riches while some live just like me

the more i try to work and save the more i have to pay

but god has my fortune laid away

i search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain

the hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame

pockets that stay empty

dreams that go astray

god has my fortune laid away
