Discontment

One thing I believe in my heart's deepest core 
All my life I have wished for something more 
But we live and die with our minds so closed 
We never realize that we've gotten what we were owed 

As a young simple fool, with my eyes on the world 
All I wanted was to fly, to be propelled, to be hurled 
To get a chance, just a glimpse of the wonders to see 
To embrace and to feel all the pleasures next to me 

So many wants and desires and dreams in me 
I could never have thought they would all agree 
To come true in a span so short and sweet 
Have me touch and caress them, just fall at my feet 

Looking back its clear that all I should do 
Is to bow my head in absolute gratitude 
For if truth be told, I should head for the door 
But sadly, I want more, and more and more
