I Been Told

from This Burning Sun by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
The fortune teller was smiling as she traced all the lines on my hand.
I was hoping that this would be my lucky day.
For just a few more dollars she looked deep into her crystal ball.
That’s where she saw something good coming my way.

(chorus)
‘cause I been told, baby, I been told.
Tomorrow’s gonna bring me love, so I been told.

(verse 2)
The preacher he was prayin’ for all the lost souls like me,
‘cause Jesus is gonna be here any day.
He said I’d better get ready, so I threw a few coins in the plate,
in case the Lord is sending something good my way.

(bridge)
maybe there’s more to life, maybe our spirits never die,
maybe we can live forever somehow.
It’s so complex, and I’m just a simple kind of guy,
trying to live each moment in the now.
