Victim Of Circumstance lyrics - Carole King

Out in the woods and I'm lost again

Stranded in the wilderness with no sense of direction

I do have a prayer but I don't stand a chance

Oh, I'm just a victim of circumstance

Down in the swamp I'm stuck in the sand

Thinking while I'm sinking there must be some connection

I'll twist the future lock but in the final trance

Oh, I'm just the victim of circumstance

Oh, I am a simple soul

Who takes the role for granted

But people go and lose control

And try to take advantage

Out on the street with my doubts and my plan

I've thought it through and I've come to one conclusion

I'll make the best of everything and leave the rest to chance

Oh, I'm just a victim of circumstance
