Drifting

Memories, shifting like the moonlight Fading even though I hold on tight Feeling myself floating upon a cloud Wind blowing loud Dreams that one day may do me proud Thoughts racing past the stars Uncovering my scars For all to see That's how peace finds me Dark times alone A child already grown Old man who are you How many dreams have came true To many dreams lost along the way Some dreams change from day to day A price you pay To dare to dream It would seem Yesterday slides past So fast No time to follow Or to wallow In self pity Or are you being witty thoughts are so loud Floating upon this cloud Day light Night So fast the world turns As the past burns Hoping for something better Than empty words in a letter Takes strength to walk the next mile To keep a smile Can't be locked in the past While tomorrow passes by so fast My head in the cloud My mind ringing loud I can stand proud Cause I did my best Throughout all of life's little test
