|
There's a man who is lonely |
|
This could change if he'd only |
|
Take a chance and risk stepping outside himself |
|
There's a girl he's been seeing |
|
From afar he's been dreaming he could have her if he were someone else |
|
So he silently awaits |
|
A major change in fate |
|
A change that comes too late |
|
And you're reaching for a star |
|
But can you reach that far |
|
Standing where you are? |
|
The wanting was too much |
|
You're longing for her touch |
|
It's not within your clutch |
|
There's a man who's been thinking |
|
To himself he's been dreaming |
|
How to build a skyscraper to the stars |
|
Now he starts to go to it |
|
He's so sure he cand do it |
|
Though he's lacking the knowledge of design |
|
Now his dream comes crashing around him |
|
And tumbles to the sea |
|
Along with all he wanted to be |
|
A realization strikes him |
|
A harsh reality |
|
He doesn't know everything |
|
When the student tries to teach |
|
The knowledge that you seek |
|
Lies just outside your reach |
|
There's a thirst you have to learn |
|
A hunger inside burns |
|
Time for the page to turn |
|
It's the wanting, |
|
It's the hoping, |
|
It's the longing |
|
There's a flame within your soul |
|
To strive to reach your goal |
|
But dreaming takes its toll |
|
It's nature's own device |
|
To grab and roll the dice |
|
But each toss has its price |
|
Emotions starts to flow |
|
Your heart takes control |
|
And steers you down the road |
|
Your destination is no concern |
|
The impulsive never learn |
|
Just another bridge to burn |
|
It's the wanting, |
|
It's the hoping, |
|
It's the longing... [Music and Lyrics: D.Ott] |
