about

One's family is where we come from, and not every family is helpful for one's growth, but We're Lucky is an ode to the people that came before, especially family. But also other key people that blazed a trail and encouraged one to do so as well, by empowering and not dictating one's path. This is a very personal song for Jay Jules and speaks directly to his parents. For the first time in the album there is some type of "arriving" sensed, the instrumentation carries a calm vibe, with a driving drum groove. Especially the instrumental outro touches on this emotion of arriving and reminiscing.

lyrics

Eyes Closed figure out what I hold
Life can be a gamble if you don't know what you own
But I'm bold always going on
I know the struggle starting to get real if I fold
And I know I'm fine, so it's hard to see the rest
Especially if nobody can be looking in your chest
What are your aims? What you doing things for
Can I really trust you?
Or you leave me painful
But the family that came before me
Showed me how to live my life most beautifully
I know that I had the chance to see what other people didn’t see
I'm grateful and I be lucky to be doing what they think they cannot
Looking in the mirror ask myself: can I do it really?
And what is in me?
All the people believing in me
But it doesn’t change shit

Coming round and round
and round I keep on going
I'm living for you, you living through me
and this is the truth
I know that
I keep on going
I will never stop
I will never stop
I keep
Going and going and going

But I be thankful, for the people that
Were there for me and I see clear that
I didn’t have a picture-perfect past
The people ‘round me made sure I could last
I had a good example of how to live my life
Thinking 'bout the future, it was always looking bright
I was loved right
No obstacle in sight
They didn’t make me feel the weight
Life was feeling kinda light
All the decisions I took I could be reading out of their books
Already have a look
I had to take my own steps evidently
I could do it with them on the side thankfully
So I know that everything I do, I do it for them
They raised me in the past made me who I am
I know that it's my life and I love to live it
If I had the power to be changing theirs, I would give it
