CHASING THE WIND

CHASING THE WIND

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2019

WE USED TO STAND HERE

AND WATCH THE SUNRISE 

WE USED TO CHASE THE WIND

CHASE THE WILD AND FREE

NOTHING MORE

 THAT WE WANTED TO BE 

WE WERE YOUNG AND ANXIOUS

RESTLESS AND SURE

HEARTS STILL PURE

NOT TAINTED BY THE WORLD

NEVER BURNED BY THE FIRE

CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK

WE HAD IT MADE

THE SUN MOVED FAST

SEASONS CHANGED

AND FEELINGS LED THE WAY

TO BROKEN HEARTS

READY TO RETURN

BUT THERE'S NO GOING BACK

IT ALL LEADS AWAY

STEADY SURE

LIKE THE RIVER FLOWS

NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME

PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MINDS

IT HURTS BUT I

LEARNED NOT TO CRY

EVEN IF I WANTED TO

THOSE TEARS ARE ALL GONE

INTUITION LOGICAL TO A FAULT

FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I TRUST

WE USED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING

WE STILL DO

I'LL NEVER GIVE IN

 TO LIVING A LIE

NO COMPROMISE

 WHY WOULD I

NOT WHILE THERE'S STILL

 GLORY IN HONOR

THAT'S THE SIDE 

YOU'LL FIND ME ON 

WE USED TO EXTRACT SO MUCH MAGIC

FROM A SUMMERS DAY

WE USED TO SMELL THE FLOWERS

WE USED TO CHASE THE WIND

CHASE THE STARS AND

FIND OUR WAY BACK AGAIN

WAY BACK WHEN

 WE WERE FREE SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT

WE USED TO THINK

WE COULDN'T LOSE

WHEN SUMMERS DRAGGED ON AND ON

THEY COULD NEVER BE TOO LONG

WE NEVER KNEW

 THE TIDE WAS CHANGING

UNTIL ONE DAY IT WAS GONE

ITS SOMEWHERE OUT THERE

CHASING THE WIND

YOU JUST CAN'T COME BACK AGAIN
