[Music & Lyrics- D. Ott]
There's a man who's lonely
This could change if he'd only
Take a chance and risk stepping
outside himself
There's a girl he's been seeing
From afar he's been dreaming
HE could have her if he were someone else
So
he silently awaits
A major change in fate
A change that comes too late
And you're reaching for a star
But can you reach
that far
Standing where you are?
The wanting is too much
You're longing for her touch
It's not within your
clutch
There's a man who's been thinking
To himself he's been dreaming
How to build a skyscraper to the stars
Now he
starts to go to it
He's so sure he can do it
Though he's lacking the knowledge of design
Now his dream comes crashing around
him
And tumbles to the sea
Along with all he wanted to be
A realization strikes him
A harsh reality
He doesn't know
everything
When the student tries to teach
The knowledge that you seek
Lies just outside your reach
There's a thirst you
have to learn
A hunger inside burns
Time for the page to turn
It's the wanting. It's the hoping. It's the
longing.
There's a flame within your soul
To strive to reach your goal
But dreaming takes it's toll
It's nature's own
device
To grab and roll the dice
But each toss has it's price
Emotions start to flow
Your heart takes control
And
steers you down the road
Your destination is no concern
The impulsive never learn
Just another bridge to burn...
It's the
wanting. It's the hoping. It's the longing...
