Dreams Found

Gotta be something more to life
running blindly thru this maze
chasing days 
around blind corners
during todays foggy haze

Too busy to be aware of dreams of light
Shrugging them off
Taking for granted life
Not realizing why I dream at night

Who’s choice is it to choose
my steps to take?
Who’s choice is it to choose
The dreams I make?
Who’s choice is it to choose
The dreams I make come true?

The darkness at night
Effects my eyes
Effects the light
Although I’m lost
And I may stumble around
I know there’s more to life
more to it
In the dreams I’ve found
In my bed vulnerable
Yet sleeping sound

Daylight hits and my eyes open
I chase pieces of paper
With emotion
I chase education and promotion
I chase the dreams of others
instead of my own dreams devoted 

Every step I take
A second goes away
The hands on the clock never stop or stay
The dreams I found
During the darkness of night 
are the dreams I chase 
During todays bright light.
