Chasing Distant Dreams

[Intro]
Lost in the echoes of a hopeful dream
Searching in shadows, things aren't what they seem

[Verse 1]
Thought I found a light, a spark so bright
A different tune, a brand new sight
But days roll by and I start to see
Nothing’s really changed, still searching for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does the world keep turning gray?
Can’t there be a brighter day?
All these questions, they collide
In my heart where hope used to reside

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't there be good in this world?
Why do good hearts get lost, unfurled?
Looking for that happy ever after
Seems like chasing a distant laughter

[Verse 2]
Drowning in the noise, the endless pain
Craving sunshine after rain
Perceptions fade, what’s left is doubt
Trying to find what it's about

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does this cycle never end?
Seeking love, will I find a friend?
Yearning for a world that's kind
A peace I’ve always hoped to find

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't there be good in this world?
Why do good hearts get lost, unfurled?
Looking for that happy ever after
Seems like chasing a distant laughter

[Bridge]
Maybe someday, the tide will turn
Find the lessons in all we’ve learned
Hold on to hope, let fears fade away
Dream of the better days, someday

[Outro]
Still, I believe in a brighter dawn
A place where love is never gone
Until then, I’ll carry the fight
Hoping for peace, for the end of night
