There's a Place in The World for a Gambler

Dan Fogelberg · Triple Feature [2009]

There's a place in the world

For a gambler

There's a burden that only

He can bear

There's a place in the world

For a gambler



And he sees

Oh, yes he sees

And he sees

Oh, yes he sees



There's a song in the heart

Of a woman

That only the truest of loves

Can release

There's a song in the heart

Of a woman



Set it free

Oh, set it free

Set it free

Oh, set it free

Set it free

Oh, set it free

Aah, aah, aah



There's a light in the depths

Of your darkness

There's a calm at the eye

Of every storm

There's a light in the depths

Of your darkness



Let it shine

Oh, let it shine

Let is shine

Oh, let it shine

Let is shine

Oh, let it shine

...
