A man of great ambition he pushed himself to be
A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve
All his friends admired him,
And every word they trusted and believed.
And the odds seemed forever in his favor.
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
Healthy clientele and some committed employees
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found.
And the odds seem forever in his favor.

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
One fine day Sir, sooner or later
the empires are bound to fall!
The wind blows forever without waver
Because ? dawn
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favor!

He bought a grander house on a more expensive street
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all back again
Still he thought he had the odds in his favor.
He had to disappoint you, the banker did not yield
The string of repossessions, his wife's expensive heels
But sitting down upon the curb he felt a sudden feeling of relief
And he knew the odds were far from in his favor.

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
One fine day Sir, sooner or later
the empires are bound to fall!
'Cause the wind blows forever without waver
? can't crack stone
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favor!

You're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure
I think you may resent it, in fact, I'm pretty sure
Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor, I'm not so sure!
And the odds are not forever in your favur!
