A Hungry Man

Each night I dream a deep blue sky A place where only birds could fly Each morn I lie awake Wondering who else made that mistake Many of men I’ve seen waste their dime Trying to hold and buy back time It’s a common misconception Often laced with deception For a wise man knows, it’s the foolish who ask And it’s the blind who lead the mass Many search and few find But so is the many that falls behind I myself have seen my eyes full of fire Burning to know true desire So where do I fit? Yet who am I to question it I could spend a lifetime is search of freedom Only to be left with a sea full of conundrums Of each problem to ever exist And temptations I have to resist So, I’ve become the fool at hand While time slips through my fingers like sand Now it's too late for me to understand That it’s the devil that haunts a hungry man
