(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
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
