Fortune - Lyrics - Heather Dale

Heather Dale is a Canadian Celtic recording artist and touring musician. She records and performs primarily her own original songs, which draw their inspiration from the folklore, mythology and history of various Celtic and non-Celtic cultures, along with some elements of modern fantasy literature. Her musical style is a mix of traditional and modern, influenced by Celtic folk, folk-rock, New Age, and world music. She has been compared to Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, and Judy Collins.

I waited for a sunny day to launch my grand design The clouds would loom, the wind would turn--it happened every time Until at last it struck me: I should just let it all unfold The sun is shining somewhere Fortune loves the bold. They laughed and shouted questions to the fool out in the storm They thought that I would envy them, all safe and dry and warm But I think I'm done with staying right where I've been pigeonholed The sun is shining somewhere And fortune loves the bold. So now I seize the chance to run where in the past I've strolled I've learned that luck won't change itself--it has to be cajoled And if you wait for sunny days, your tale remains untold The sun is shining somewhere The sun is shining somewhere... Fortune loves the bold. I waited for a sunny day to launch my grand design...
