The Lucky One [Like a wild bird of prey] lyrics

You can break away or you can stay

You choose your life, you're free to fly

Go on and fly

Go on and fly

She had it in her own time

To get away and try to find

Somewhere to go, to run

She saw the world through open eyes

And never let a soul inside

Don't come too close, so close

Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night

You can take what you want, and you don't think twice

'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want

And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Her soul was strong, her heart was tough

And when she felt she had enough

She tore herself away

Love in the dark is all you see

Get what you want, not what you need

You look the other way

Never letting on to what it's all become

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night

You can take what you want, and you don't think twice

'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want

And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Oh, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one

Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one

Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
