Steely Dan-ish, feel-good jazz/rock vocals with some brash instrumental work portraying a setting of urban civility.
I count my blessings nearly everyday
For falling in with this natural way
Was it luck or my karma so good?
Whatever what, I'm touching wood
- Well, its a wild cruel world, but we're not the ones who made it that way
Could we have done much more to keep the growling wolves at bay
Lighthearted lovers, like-minded friends, Lighthearted lovers
We climb life's hills and we round the bends
Lighthearted lovers, clear minded friends, lighthearted lovers
- We weren't the coolest or the richest by far
I remember when the times were hard
But making love and sharing laughs
Got us through life's ludicrous gaffes
- Well, its a wild cruel world but we aren't the ones who made it that way
Could we have done much more to keep the growling wolves at bay
Lighthearted lovers, fair minded friends, lighthearted lovers
We climb life's hills and we round the bends...
