He dreamt big
She was highly ambitious
They met on the dance floor
<em>It was instant recognition </em>
...
All rivers run into the sea
The desert was once a Sea
When life was young
and you were stronger
...
This is my story
Could well be yours
We are in the same river
On different boats
...
All it took was
Just one summer long
For the river to run dry
As did her tears too
...
They made some quick money
It was cash and carry
Selling pebbles and dust
...
We begin our day
With our daily prayers
For the rest of the day
We just don't care
...
The long war was over now
There was an eerie silence in the air
And in the hearts of people
All around
...
When enough is not enough
Perhaps there is little more to it
With a brush of your hands
You set it aside
...
Please do not read me wrong
because I have broken my wings
I cannot fly to the heights
I once did
...
There are no benchmarks
Or yardsticks
To measure your success
And your dreams
...
It was a logwood
Burning through the night
Giving warmth
And lighting up
...
Keep On Dancing
He dreamt big
She was highly ambitious
They met on the dance floor
<em>It was instant recognition </em>
He floated a limited company
She landed in a high profile job
Life moved on
In comfort and style
But the dance floor
was empty now
The band had
stopped playing
Trophies and pictures
hung on the wall
Gathered dust
The wings of success
Brought long hours
of engagements
All taking their toll
The board rooms, working lunch
dinner parties, business travels
Kept the clock ticking
They had drifted
a bit too far
The loss was greater than the gain
<em>It was a poor bargain</em>
The little raft
of happiness
was floating
on the river of life
Without notice
they set sail
Never to turn back again.
