You Are Charmed

You are charmed,
it's in the cards.
You are free
to do anything.

I know they told you
you weren't fit to
shine the shoes of a son of a slave
much less the leather boots of a middle-manager.
Listen to me! Listen to me!

You are charmed,
it's in the leaves.
You are free
to do anything.

I know they told you
you weren't fit to
join the parade that braves the Rio Grande,
that dodges cars on the 281
only to end up walking broken and barefoot
out on the Texas plains.
Listen to me! Listen to me!

You are charmed,
it's in the stars.
You are free
to be anything.

Look outside, up in the sky,
the birds fly synchronized
to tell you it's time, you'll not be denied.
Listen to me!
