There is a place that's far away from here

Where the sun beats like a drum but the skies are never clear

Every day is harder than the last

And the answers never come no matter how often you ask.

I feel lucky sometimes

I should feel lucky all the time

There is a kid in a bunker full of sand

All around him he hears voices he'll never understand

Every night is longer than the last

With fever dreams of war machines and never coming back.

I feel lucky sometimes

When I should feel lucky all the time.

But it's easy to ignore

Like the distant sound of thunder

And it's strange that I don't wonder

Who is caught inside the storm

Who is caught inside the storm.

I had a friend from back when we were kids

After school he joined the army and I haven't seen him since

Every day the news is all the same

I go flipping through the pages hoping I won't see his name.

I feel lucky sometimes

I should feel lucky all the time.
