No matter how good things appear they are going
The only true constant in this life is change
No matter how much clarity in your thinking
Always that elusive something just out of range

Seemingly tangible, yet forever untouchable
A wisp of a wish, a desire, or a dream
Though ambitions make you feel unstoppable
This strong drive in some can overwhelm

Plodding onward, forward regardless through time
Unable or unwilling to appreciate current status
Believing we NEED that extra nickel or dime
Realizing too late; there’s a much higher price

Truer ideals; love, trust, and forgiveness
All pushed aside in favor of avarice
The possesions and cash too many are after
It’s the best things in life that are free we squander
