WE ALWAYS WANT
THE UNATTAINABLE
SOMETHING THAT IS
SO OUT OF REACH
YOU REJECT THAT WHICH IS
SO FREELY GIVEN
YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT ALL
UNTIL YOU OPEN YOUR HANDS
AND IT IS GONE
LIKE SAND IN YOUR HANDS
LETTING IT SLIP AWAY
LETTING WHAT WAS THERE PASS YOU BY
YOU TOOK FOR GRANTED
WHAT I FREELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY OFFERED
I GAVE THE ONLY WAY I KNOW
BUT YOU JUST KEPT ON LOOKING
FOR WHAT WASN'T THERE
ONCE YOU LET IT SLIP AWAY
IT DOESN'T COME TO PASS YOUR WAY AGAIN
BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE
THAT IS LOOKING FOR WHAT IS THERE
