(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...
