I’m racing through life
Trying to escape the pain
Do I run?
Or jump on the clamoring train...

I don’t remember yesterday,
Will I remember today?
The day will be gone, no instant replay

The clock keeps moving forward, calendar pages turn
No time to waste, no time to burn
Always chasing, the next best thing
Missing the melody, of the birds as they sing

I want to stop running
But I don’t know how
I’m just another human,
Faceless in the crowd

No one can know
What I’ve been through
Don’t look at me, keep the attention on you

I guess I’ll keep running
Chasing the dream
Of rainbows and butterflies, and a bubbling stream

— The End —
