(God has my fortune laid away) Oh, the world is full of people with money just to burn Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn Some can take life easy but I live from day by day God has my fortune laid away I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame Pockets that stay empty dreams that go astray God has my fortune laid away (God has my fortune laid away, laid away) Oh, how often I have wondered why some things have to be Some people live in riches while some live just like me The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay But God has my fortune laid away (Laid away) I search for sunshine
