CHASING THE WIND
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

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
