Dreams

Long ago quite a few years back
I packed my dreams in a haversack
Left my friends clueless of where i'm going,
it was a feeling nothing less than annoying.
The journey seemed long
but i began with a song
I thought these are the days that i am leaving behind
but have a to sacrifice a lot more to face life's grind

I had a dream of being known
I had a dream of building a palace of my own
there was a place called paradise
but to understand the illusion i had to be wise
I tried to escape the troublesome thought
with courage in my mind restlessly I fought
I want it and i want it now
just want it no matter how

faced bad weather faced bad days
I had started to fall short of ways
thought of returning back to the paradise
I could hear my heart giving out cries
took two steps back, the mind didn't agree
understood that nothing in life comes for free
I often thought that quit I may
but where there is a will there is always a way
