The New Song

The words he sings in his new song

Speak of a journey, long and hard

He said his whole lifetime, it seems

He has been chasing

Played-out dreams

The vision only he could see

Was not in his capacity

But he ignored the subtle signs

And traveled down those age-worn lines

Until it became clear to him

His dreams had been based on a whim

He sat to reassess his life

The one shared with his kids and wife

It struck him then; they were his dream

That life with them had reigned supreme

That dream he chased was his mistake

Had been all wrong

Desperate and fake

The song now speaks of how life changed

How he no longer feels estranged

Values and priorities, 

now exchanged

Family will never be shortchanged
