dusklight

wrote this song while i was running in the evening today.
the breeze, the clouds and the setting sun really provided much inspiration for the lyrics, but also the journey of the run itself... the pressing on and pushing forth, the sweat and exhaustion experienced.

also, as i ran past a few elderlies who were out for their evening walk, i noticed the sad expressions on their faces as they saw my tired, troubled face.
there i was, fretting about life and modules and feeling all tired and jaded.
but then those frail, fragile, weathered hands were evidence that they have endured so much more than i have.
in a sense, they have really led the hard life.
and me? what could i possibly have to complain about?

i guess it's really all or never before...
just gotta' take our chances in life and perhaps we'll find what we're looking for (:

and don't ever look back, don't ever give up.
no regrets now, c'mon.

everybody's having a hard time
everyone is living the hard life
it's all or never before
it's all or never before
so why don't you give it a try
take a chance and aim for the skies
find what you're looking for
you'll find what you're lookin' for

sighs in the wind
you're starting to begin
with one foot out the door
one foot out the door

the sun is setting down, down
the clouds are getting out, out
but the dusklight shimmers through
i'm reaching out to you

shadows across the tarmac
the sweatdrops upon your back
are coming down in streams
keep running and chase your dreams

and the grass is dancing in unison
the roses blooming through consequence
and every flower has its thorns
through every tragedy, hope is born

don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
you can cry on the past
but there's no use for that


everybody's having a hard time
everyone is living the hard life
it's all or never before
it's all or never before
so why don't you give it a try
take a chance and aim for the skies
find what you're looking for
you'll find what you're lookin' for


don't you ever give up now
don't you ever give up now
don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
don't you ever give up now
don't you ever give up now
don't you ever look back
don't you ever -

don't you ever look back
don't you ever look back
you can cry on the past
but there's no use for that


everybody's having a hard time
everyone is living the hard life
it's all or never before
it's all or never before
so why don't you give it a try
take a chance and aim for the skies
find what you're looking for
you'll find what you're lookin' for

sighs in the wind
you're starting to begin
with one foot out the door
