Yesterdays Rising Lyrics
"I Am Fortunate to Know"

As I begin to write this
I am fortunate to know
which direction I will be going
and as I come to the conclusion
that I will forever see light
I know as well as my soul knows
the wrong from the right

I am fortunate to know
I am fortunate to know

As I proceed through fog
and deep into the unknown
I am fortunate to know
about the forks in this road

I will make peace
Out of this war I see
I will make peace
Out of this war

I am fortunate to know
(Here is my conviction)
I am fortunate to know
(Now is my moment)
I am fortunate to know
(Here is my ambition)
I am fortunate to know
(To be ever in the light)

Fear will separate you from chance
as well as control your possibilities
of becoming a better man

I will make peace
Out of this war I see
I will make peace
Out of this war

I am fortunate to know
(Gone is uncertainty)
I am fortunate to know
(I speak in confidence)
I am fortunate to know
I am fortunate to know

This malady
Of the mind
This malady
Of the mind

Don't you understand
Don't you understand
Why don't you understand
Can I make you understand

I am fortunate to know
(Here is my conviction)
I am fortunate to know
(Now is my moment)
I am fortunate to know
I am fortunate to know
(To be ever in the light)
