The first time in your life   On the other side of a blue light special   You searched the aisles for a sign   The bargain of your life to buy the impossible      You reached for the box of faith and everything around it   Way up high, on the shelf   It was there all the time   In the corner of your mind   You needed a reason to find it      There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time, he just bought the future   There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time   Hey lucky man, where'd you buy the time      The light they sent to find you falls behind   Never leaving your side   Reminded by the fight   Unexpected prize, the greatest gift is another day      There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time, he just bought the future   There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time   Hey lucky man, where'd you buy the time      We all take life for granted   A shame, counting on second chances   Sometimes we get, sometimes we don't   Unless we pray       There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time, he just bought the future   There goes the luckiest man alive   He just bought more time   Hey lucky man, where'd you buy the time   Luckiest man alive
