i have been knocking on fortune’s door
knocking with my strong right hand
prayer is better than sleep
action more divine than prayer
so i knock on fortune’s door
thunder answers rain has fallen
is falling still there has been sugar
i count the blessings remembering
to say why not me never complaining
about the salt never asking why me
i continue to knock on fortune’s door
misfortune has answered but i know
where fortune lives so i continue
to knock fully expecting all good
things in reciprocity for my ewa pele
all good things from the work of my hands
so i knock expecting blessings
refusing to leave before the miracle happens
why not me
i am knocking on fortune’s door
with my strong right hand
blessings are due
