My Fortune
Funker Vogt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many places I have been
So many faces I have seen
So I travelled for my life
Never settled, had a wife

So many friends I have met
So many friends I have led
A fortune-teller I once was
But my fortune will not last

And again I will stand up
I will empty this cup
To follow this road I will dare
A road to god knows where

I am standing naked in the rain
Crying out I called for god
A million questions in my head
But the answers god has not
I am standing naked in the rain
A white dove in my hand




I have lost my direction
Tell me, where is my promised land?
