We always chase Something better Everything greater Running a race with no finish line Wanting more and more in every second of our life I want to buy this I need this I have to have it And we slowly get stuck in a loop Never ending wanting and worries Everything is a need Never ending necessity Wanting more having more But still feeling less than before More money more power more status more class We go above and beyond running till our day But forget our soul that made this way we have forgotten ourself that made us humane Judging nagging comparing Tell others they are never enough Telling themselves they are enough Good enough but never enough But we have turned into Humans who are not humane Isn’t that the biggest flaw Isn’t that most terrible setback Care kindness empathy Has left our path along the bay but that is what stays When everything fades away All things we hold Started slipping our hands Even those property and lands All the needs we built around Empty halls echoes, no child to be found Because what we lost on our way Was never meant to be lost that day The kindness we ignored The empathy we silenced The care we held back And in the end We don’t regret what we didn’t have But regret ,What we didn’t become And realize it was never ending race

NEVER ENDING RACE
We always chase Something better Everything greater Running a race with no finish line Wanting more and more in every second of our life I want to buy this I need this I have to have it And we slowly get stuck in a loop Never ending wanting and worries Everything is a need Never ending necessity Wanting more having more But still feeling less than before More money more power more status more class We go above and beyond running till our day But forget our soul that made this way we have forgotten ourself that made us humane Judging nagging comparing Tell others they are never enough Telling themselves they are enough Good enough but never enough But we have turned into Humans who are not humane Isn’t that the biggest flaw Isn’t that most terrible setback Care kindness empathy Has left our path along the bay but that is what stays When everything fades away All things we hold Started slipping our hands Even those property and lands All the needs we built around Empty halls echoes, no child to be found Because what we lost on our way Was never meant to be lost that day The kindness we ignored The empathy we silenced The care we held back And in the end We don’t regret what we didn’t have But regret ,What we didn’t become And realize it was never ending race
