I waited for a sunny day to launch my grand design
The clouds would loom, the wind would turn--it happened every time
Until at last it struck me: i should just let it all unfold
The sun is shining somewhere
Fortune loves the bold.

They laughed and shouted questions to the fool out in the storm
They thought that i would envy them, all safe and dry and warm
But i think i'm done with staying right where i've been pigeonholed
The sun is shining somewhere
And fortune loves the bold.

So now i seize the chance to run where in the past i've strolled
I've learned that luck won't change itself--it has to be cajoled
And if you wait for sunny days, your tale remains untold
The sun is shining somewhere
The sun is shining somewhere...
Fortune loves the bold.

I waited for a sunny day to launch my grand design...
