Shadows of Lost Dreams

The city covered under
Dark shadows of lost dreams
Of those who lost their spark
Of those who gave up fighting
For their long lost love
Of those who just hold up
To what's remained to them
Pieces of broken hearts
No one's able to mend
Fragments strewn all along
God desert murky streets
Covered under mud
Sprinkled with bitter tears

The city covered under
Dark shadows of lost dreams
Of those who way too often
Look back into their past
And with painful feeling
That's going to last
See carefree and joyful
Dreamer in their past selves
Free and open minded
Such sweet reminiscence
Blown away by the wind
Destroyed, torn apart
Those bittersweet dreams
Unfulfilled, broke their heart

Never give up your dreams
And don't let anyone
To discourage you
As for sure it's better to fail
Than to regret the chance
Never taken and hidden under
The shadows of lost dreams
