Lyrics (from album booklet)
--------
Well I see because this is my window
Your questions with every move I make
So much time is filled up with answers
To why my feet will always hold their ground

Need to be the one
Redefine yourself
See it in your mind
This is all a game
Do it all again
Redefine yourself
See it in your mind
This is all a game

This is my fortune

Well I see with the sun in my window
That questions will sometimes remain

This is my fortune
