Child of Fortune

Child of Fortune is a 1985 science fiction novel by the American author Norman Spinrad. Like his previous book The Void Captain's Tale, Child of Fortune takes place three or four thousand years in the future in an era called the Second Starfaring Age. It is a coming of age story about a young girl's wanderjahr, a rite of passage that all adolescents in the Second Starfaring Age are expected to undertake before they become adults. Critical reaction to the book was mixed, with some critics dissatisfied with Spinrad's long ornate polyglot writing. Others were more positive, finding the difficult language worth the effort. more »

How can one so afraid to die
Find it so easy to take life

I've never feared what lies beyond
I've got no qualms
With Giving my life
For the cause

And It's a good day
What a good day
To wake up screaming
From this American Dream

Cant you hear me
It's time to be free
And wake up
From this American Dream

If hatred comes from fear alone
And no ones there
Now you're on your own
But you don't need to frightened
I'll tell you why

Cuz love never kills
And love never dies
Love forgives you when you've
Gone awry
The cult of death must give way
To the light of life

And It's a good day
Such a good day
To wake up screaming
From this American Dream

It's a good day
What a marvelous day
To wake up
From this American dream

Its a good day
A good day
Oh yeah
To wake up from this American dream

Its a Good day
Oh Yeah
To wake up
From this American Dream
