A momentary lapse
For a moment I forgot
I had found the will to fight
And then I asked myself for what?
Swim against the tide
Or climbing up a hill
I thought it paid to try
But I find I’ve had my fill
Chasing down a dream
But I found it’s just a joke
When I thought I’d grasped the dream
I watched it all go up in smoke
As I stared at empty hands
A revelation came to me
It’s the art of giving up
That will truly set you free
Across my face a smile
The first one I had today
And the only thing it took
Was for me to walk away
