Michelangelo


(I saw you chasing a shooting star but it was clear to me and all to see, the star dimming and slowing down... You had caught it in your hand and tossed it in the air, your lights put on quite a show {it was quite a throw} But we both know you did not succeed, You didn't even try Why do you act the way you are Chasing shooting stars Saying you will succeed Chasing your dreams Your going to fall Setting yourself up to fail Why do you act the way you are Chasing shooting stars You tell others to chase their dreams, whom are to young to know what that means whom don't know realism means {who are to young to trace their dreams, in the stars} You should give them a chance to succeed don't have them chasing others dreams You planted that seed you planted that seed Why do you act the way you are Chasing shooting stars Saying you will succeed Chasing your dreams Your going to fall Setting yourself up to fail Why do you act the way you are chasing shooting stars I finally called you out on chasing my dreams, I must of hit a nerve for you to run away from me Now here I lie all hope hope drained away from me My life slipping away from me and there you are you came back to me, pulled me on my feet you taught me to trust in hope.. and taught me to follow my dreams But it still leads me to ask what are dreams to you and me Why do people act the way you are Chasing shooting stars Saying they will succeed Chasing there dreams There going to fall Setting themselves up to fail Why do people act the way you are Chasing shooting stars)
