How Lucky Am I

Liner Notes
#fuc #acoustic-one-take
Sort of along the lines of being thankful for unanswered prayers. I was presented with an opportunity that, had I taken it, would've created a lot more hardship in my life that I wasn't fully aware of at the time. I'm grateful to have gotten that opportunity, and grateful to have thought better of it.
Lyrics
I said I wanted something
The universe concurred
I didn’t think it was listening
But then somehow it heard
How lucky
How lucky am I
The shining silver platter
The lighting was the touch
And here it was in front of me
And I wanted it so much
How lucky
How lucky am I
But as I went to reach for it
It flashed across my eyes
There’s nothing that’s for nothing
There are strings and there are ties
And here’s the thing you thought you wanted
The answer to your plea
But be careful what you wish for, darling
Nothing is for free
And so I gave a second thought
Although the silver shined
I said thank you anyway
But I think I’ve changed my mind
How lucky
How lucky am I

Your voice and the ukulele go very well together. Tat alone got my nerves relax.
I love the bold move of switching to a minor chord on "how lucky".
And underneath the beauty I dig the wisdom message of the song.
