Tim O'brien - Few Are Chosen lyrics

Few are chosen, few ever see the light of day Through the eye of the needle one or two will make their way We're all searching for the same thing a little hope one single ray Few are chosen few ever see the light of day Now the night shift is over another day has come and gone My old heart starts sinkin' with the coming of the dawn Seems I'll never catch up to this road I'm travelling on Now the night shift is over another day has come and gone Though the darkness covers me I know soon the light I'll see Breaking through the night and shining on my dreams All my doubts will fade away I know I'll never lose my way Oh few are chosen few ever see the light of day You can lose just so much Â'til you start winnin' once again It makes the odds more even a lot more even than they've been So I keep on climbin' out of this hole I find I'm in I can see it comin soon I'll be winnin' once again I tell you friend this world will test you, it moves so slow it seems you're standing still But I won't take no for an answer, there's too much heart behind this iron will Though the darkness covers me I know soon the light I'll see Breaking through the night and shining on my dreams All my doubts will fade away I know I'll never lose my way Oh few are chosen few ever see the light of day Few are chosen, few ever see the light of day
