Phantom Dream…

While I chased a phantom dream what I lived for was chasing me

While I spent my days thinking of better times the best times were as good as can be

Rushing ahead to things that would never be I missed what was at hand

Moments of gold lost in winds of time, just like waves stealing the sand…

Cho. We all want what we can’t have, what we do have is wanted by the rest

We chase what others let go of not knowing what we hold in our hands is the best.

In running after things that were never mine, I left behind what once I had prayed for.

In reaching for the stars I missed the sunset, I brushed past what I had and wanted more

Now looking around I see all that I have and realize the thief may not be time

It is I who have yearned for brighter and better, not truly loving all that’s mine.

Cho.

On this journey forward I want to see what’s in front of me and not around the bend

Catch the rain fall, live in the sunshine, take time to heal and mend

Mend what maybe I have broken in the past while the future was on my mind

Touch the hands that showed me, love the hearts that hold me, now I’m gonna make the time.
