“Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action” – Henry Chester
Oh, glitter dreams, I had to let you go
though in my youth, you’re all that I longed for.
Faith fled when my sweet passions lost their glow.
Some plans I made fate forced me to forego.
They vanished like when tides recede from shore.
Oh, glitter dreams, I had to let you go.
One’s destiny can be a bitter foe.
It took from me my fervor to explore.
Faith fled when my sweet passions lost their glow.
When young, I never thought with age came woe.
Life taught me this when hope walked out my door.
Oh, glitter dreams, I had to let you go.
I’m older, and though wiser, dying slow.
Fate tore my wings so that I could not soar.
Faith fled when my sweet passions lost their glow.
I thank my Lord for gifts He does bestow
on me, but pray my good health He’ll restore.
Oh, glitter dreams, I had to let you go.
Faith fled when my sweet passions lost their glow.
