How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained Every wind that you have sailed upon, a hurricane Every summer you have seen was filled with April rain It doesn't get easy, don't you know Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate Count your blessings and prepare to change your point of view All those days that you spend waiting won't come back to you Take off the glasses that have treated your world black and grey It doesn't get easy, don't you know Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate It keeps raining, keeps raining, keeps raining It keeps raining, 'Cause we are blind, keeps raining, 'Cause we are tired, keeps raining, 'Cause we are blind to fortune's guidance now It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind, it will keep raining, 'cause we are tired It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind oh, it will keep raining 'cause we are tired Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate
