Fate had a hand in this, timing a changing wind
It turns up your street
With ease and grace, you came along, I trusted it
Was it misguided, intentional, I fell at your feet
You, you, you trusted Fate
I was blinded by ambition, thought I knew my true condition
I was lost in some fanciful ideal
Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't play so fool
There's a signal on the radio, it's coming through real weak
Some preacher preaching sinners how to bow down and be meek
Well I'm just looking for redemption, finally learning how to speak
You, you, you trusted Fate
I hear those politicians, they're talkin' their half truths
Covered in their finery and their shiny Sunday suits
All I'm asking for is honesty and some lovin' on the side
I know the times are hard they say
Allay your fears just one more day
The time has come to make a stand and
Nurture now this fine romance
You, you, you keep me honest
You, you, you keep me honest
