Verse 1

A swimming pool, a dream so grand

A place to escape, a haven in the sand

But those who own them, rarely take a dip

The water’s still, a silent, empty slip.

Verse 2

A heart that yearns, a love that’s lost

A memory cherished, at any cost

But those who hold their loved ones close sometimes forget

The simple joys, the moments they regret.

Refrain

We chase the shadows, the things we don’t possess

While blessings in our hands we often fail to bless

A lover’s touch, a warm embrace, a simple meal

The things we take foregranted, a truth we rarely feel.

Verse 3

A hungry soul, a stomach empty and bare

They’d give their all, for a single shared meal

But those with plenty, turn their noses high

Ignoring the hunger in a passing sigh.

(Repeat Refrain 2x)

Verse 4

A car, a dream, a symbol of freedom’s call

A chariot of freedom, to answer every call

But those who own them always seek a better ride

Ignoring the journey in their constant stride.

Verse 5

So open your eyes and see the light

The beauty around you shining ever so bright

Be grateful for the present, the gifts you hold so dear

For somewhere, someone would give everything for what you have here.

(Repeat Refrain 2x)
