Fortune vs. Favour

Tell me how we got so low
With all we stand to gain?
Bittersweet resentment grows
Distributing the blame
Maybe when there's so much to lose
With privilege we confuse
The value of a safe place over that we long to gain
We've been waiting
Waiting for so long - to be the lucky ones
Right where we belong - now we're the lucky ones
If coveting's a sin I'm going down for life
Never satisfied, never far from sight
Out of sight, out of mind - lacking empathy I find
Opportunity in your demise
Always looking down never looking out
Better off than most, most of those without
Hope, validity - sense of true belonging
Yet. No matter what we have we're all just
Waiting for so long - to be the lucky ones
Right where we belong - now we're the lucky ones
Waited for so long
In spite of all we hold - discounting what we've lost
Jealousy is king - and gratitude a cost
A cost too high, a price we won't pay
I guess we wouldn't have it any other way
Waiting for so long - to be the lucky ones
Right where we belong - now we're the lucky ones
Waiting for so long - to be the lucky ones
Right where we belong - to be the lucky ones
