(God has my fortune laid away)Oh the world is full of people with money just to burnAffording all the things in life for which a man might yearnSome can take life easy but I live from day by dayGod has my fortune laid awayI search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rainThe hope over my horizon was smoke without a flamePockets that stay empty dreams that go astrayGod has my fortune laid away(God has my fortune laid away laid away)Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to beSome people live in riches while some live just like meThe more I try to work and save the more I have to payBut God has my fortune laid away (laid away)I search for sunshine...
