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

And now I hear you speak each and every word

That I didn't think lonely people heard

You took a long night and turned it into day



And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate

you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate

Its 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



You can celebrate, gifts are never late

You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate
