Enchant - The Thirst lyrics

[Music & Lyrics- D. Ott] There's a man who's lonely This could change if he'd only Take a chance and risk stepping outside himself There's a girl he's been seeing From afar he's been dreaming HE could have her if he were someone else So he silently awaits A major change in fate A change that comes too late And you're reaching for a star But can you reach that far Standing where you are? The wanting is too much You're longing for her touch It's not within your clutch There's a man who's been thinking To himself he's been dreaming How to build a skyscraper to the stars Now he starts to go to it He's so sure he can do it Though he's lacking the knowledge of design Now his dream comes crashing around him And tumbles to the sea Along with all he wanted to be A realization strikes him A harsh reality He doesn't know everything When the student tries to teach The knowledge that you seek Lies just outside your reach There's a thirst you have to learn A hunger inside burns Time for the page to turn It's the wanting. It's the hoping. It's the longing. There's a flame within your soul To strive to reach your goal But dreaming takes it's toll It's nature's own device To grab and roll the dice But each toss has it's price Emotions start to flow Your heart takes control And steers you down the road Your destination is no concern The impulsive never learn Just another bridge to burn... It's the wanting. It's the hoping. It's the longing...
