Lucky
I've a story for you, my sweet darling dear
Of how you were lucky to be born here
You'll never know terror, you'll never know war
And your little body'll never wash up on a shore
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
And if tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yes, you were lucky that you weren't born there
Tonight, here's the story, my sweet darling dear
A mother tonight has lived my worst fear
Her baby has washed up on a foreign shore
Because old men sent their grandsons to war
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
If tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yes, you were lucky that you weren't born there
And I didn't speak when I should have said
That too many children are washing up dead
But I let happen, because it wasn't you
Tonight a mother is dying because her baby is too
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
If tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yeah, you were lucky that you weren't born there
Of how you were lucky to be born here
You'll never know terror, you'll never know war
And your little body'll never wash up on a shore
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
And if tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yes, you were lucky that you weren't born there
Tonight, here's the story, my sweet darling dear
A mother tonight has lived my worst fear
Her baby has washed up on a foreign shore
Because old men sent their grandsons to war
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
If tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yes, you were lucky that you weren't born there
And I didn't speak when I should have said
That too many children are washing up dead
But I let happen, because it wasn't you
Tonight a mother is dying because her baby is too
And you'll never know hunger, or sirens at night
And you'll always have me to tuck you up tight
If tragedy struck, people would care
Cause you were lucky that you weren't born there
Yeah, you were lucky that you weren't born there
