The Hand Of Fate

(album: Ride Blue Divide - 1982)

Let the hand of fate come down on me
Let the wild wind blow let the spirits run free
If the tables turn and my illusion shatters
I'll put my head in the sand my dreams in tatters

You can walk outside turn left or right
You can cross the street or head off into the night
If the fire burns and the heart beats true
You can ride the tiger before the tiger rides you

And if you think that it might be to late
And if you think that love won't conquer hate
Is this the hand of fate

I see a hero up with his heroine
They'd like to change the world but the world's gonna win
So they pay lipservice to all the best ideals
But they know how frustration feels

And if you think that it might be to late
And if you think that love won't conquer hate
Is this the hand of fate
