Be Kind Tonight

[Verse 1]
O wheel that turns with laughing grace,
You lift the low, you fell the great.
One day a crown, the next a chase,
We praise you still, though change is fate.
[Chorus]
All hail “Lady Luck, Be Kind Tonight”,
Smile or sting, we’ll stand upright.
With open hands and borrowed light,
We sing Lady Luck, be kind tonight.
[Verse 2]
You trade in whispers, dice, and dreams,
In sudden gifts and vanished gains.
Gold runs through you like a stream,
Then slips like rain through open hands.
[Chorus]
All hail “Lady Luck, Be Kind Tonight”,
Turn your face toward us, just this time.
We know your love is brief and light,
Still we sing, be kind tonight.
[Bridge]
We do not ask for steady ground,
Nor vows you could not keep.
Just let the coin fall gently down,
And let us wake from wantless sleep.
[Verse 3]
You crown the bold, you mock the wise,
You bless the fool who dares the most.
We’ve learned to pray with laughing eyes,
And toast the loss as well as boast.
[Final Chorus]
So praise “Lady Luck, Be Kind Tonight”,
Fickle star and faithless guide.
Win or lose, we sing it right:
Lady Luck, be kind tonight.
[Outro]
If dawn brings bread or empty plates,
We’ll thank you all the same—
For hope still lives between the fates,
And fortune knows our name.

Sacred harp harmonies float through distorted 808s and sub-bass that feels like apocalyptic worship.
