World of Want 

We’re born into this world, and we’re trained to want 

The big house, the fancy car, a lover who’s a star 

Our minds are washed by media…selling elusive dreams 

It’s all laid out in front of us…bright golds and shades of green 

And then there are these moments…these stark, unexpected moments 

When you realize that some thing or some one you wanted so bad 

Is forever beyond your reach or control 

Shocked and feeling hollow, another scar takes its toll 

 

Remember when you were young 

And wanted everything 

A child in your heart and mind 

You thought you’d be a king 

 

In a moment 

A dream is lost 

Feeling broken 

You know the cost 

In that moment 

Something dies 

In that moment 

It’s no surprise 

 

Lying in the warm grass 

You could see it all 

The clouds were selling hope 

The writing on the wall 

What became of all your dreams 

What happened to your glow 

Fate doesn’t care about your wants 

Welcome to the show 

 

In a moment 

A dream is lost 

Feeling broken 

You know the cost 

In that moment 

Something dies 

In that moment 

It’s no surprise
