I've seen faces turn into stone
So many dreams you'll never explore
I cried my heart out down in the city
Don't go easy on me
All the songs that could carry your name
All the things that I could never explain
It was never gonna be easy
Don't go easy on me
They will fade into fortunate colours
With their fortunate lovers
In their fortunate ways
They will fly through their fortunate lives
With their fortunate sons
They're the fortunate ones
There were nights we were falling apart
I know you kept them close to your heart
Don't let the lights go out in the city
Don't go easy on me
There were fights we could have ignored
Times we turned our backs on the war
It was never gonna be easy
Don't go easy, babe
They will fade into fortunate colours
With their fortunate lovers
In their fortunate ways
They will fly through their fortunate lives
With their fortunate sons
They're the fortunate ones
Now you are written in the stars
And the rest of our lives don't mean nothing
Let you heart of fire lead the way for us
And one day I'll follow
And we'll never let these times wither
They will fade into fortunate colours
With their fortunate lovers
In their fortunate ways
They will fly through their fortunate lives
With their fortunate sons
They're the fortunate ones
Fortunate ones
Fortunate ones
