about

I wrote this as I watched the unfolding of the Hurricane Katrina disaster... the event really shifted my perspective about my life, and made me realize how truly blessed I was to have my basic needs met, to live in a beautiful green area, to have family to lean on in difficult times... things that I should never take for granted, but that are easy to overlook until they aren't there anymore. I suddenly felt so incredibly lucky. I just started writing a list of sorts that included things I was grateful for, and this song just started pouring out. I perform it frequently at my shows because it always helps to put me back to that place, to that mindset of thankfulness.

lyrics

Lucky
Written by Halie Loren, a©2005
(Jammin’ Salmon Music, ASCAP)

I have a bowl of fruit
A sink that rarely leaks
When I breathe I fill my lungs with air that’s sweet
I have a soft bed
A closet full of clothes
When I step outside its on soil where grass can grow

And I have, I have, I have, I have…
Enough
And I need, I need, I need, I need…
Nothing else much, I’m

Lucky—this a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede
That I’ve got all that I need
To be satisfied, I’ll feel lucky
All my life

I have a friend to call
A sister to worry about me
When I fall, I know someone will help me get back on my feet

And I have, I have, I have, I have, I have…
More than I know
And I need, I need, I need, I need, I need…
Nothing else to show I’m

Lucky—this is a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede that I’ve got all that I need to be satisfied
I’ll feel lucky all my life.

Sometimes when times when get hard it’s hard to believe
Life’s not a dry well
But seeing what fades, what lasts, gives me reason to remind myself…
Lucky is a state of mind
My friend, I’m so

Lucky—this is a lucky life
I see it more and more how
Lucky is a relative state of mind
And as long as I concede
That I’ve got all that I need
To be satisfied, I’ll feel lucky
All my life.

I have a bowl of fruit….
