Few Are Chosen Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Few are chosen, few ever see the light of day 

Through the eye of the needle one or two will make their way 

We're all searching for the same thing, a little hope one single ray 

Few are chosen and few ever see the light of day 

Now the night shift is over, another day has come and gone 

My old heart starts sinkin' with the coming of the dawn 

Seems I'll never catch up to this road I'm traveling on 

Now the night shift is over, another day has come and gone 

Though the darkness covers me, I know soon the light I'll see 

Breaking through the night and shining on my dreams 

All my doubts will fade away, I know I'll never lose my way 

Though few are chosen and few ever see the light of day 

You can lose just so much 'til you start winnin' once again 

It makes the odds more even, a lot more even than they've been 

So I keep on climbin' out of this hole I find I'm in 

And I can see it comin', soon I'll be winnin' once again 

I tell you friend this world will test you 

It moves so slow, it seems you're standing still 

And I won't take no for an answer 

There's too much heart behind this iron will 

Though the darkness covers me, I know soon the light I'll see 

Breaking through the night and shining on my dreams 

All my doubts will fade away, I know I'll never lose my way 

Oh, few are chosen, few ever see the light of day 

Few are chosen, few ever see the light of day
