[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I'm counting the lights as they fade away,
Lost in the night, but I’m here to stay,
Thought I’d find gold if I worked real hard,
But all I found were these broken parts.
[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, "Money is the way to be free,"
But it’s pulling me down like chains on my feet,
Now I’m running faster, feeling lighter inside,
Chasing dreams I left behind.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’ve been chasing dreams in the dark,
Counting the moments, watching the sparks,
Not for the money or the fame in sight,
I just want to feel alive tonight.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Spent too long staring at empty walls,
Forgot who I am, got too close to the fall,
Now I’m breaking free, casting off this weight,
Finding the love I almost misplaced.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said I’d be happy with gold in my hands,
But I found peace just making a stand,
It’s not the riches, it’s the passion I find,
In chasing dreams and leaving fear behind.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’ve been chasing dreams in the dark,
Counting the moments, watching the sparks,
Not for the money or the fame in sight,
I just want to feel alive tonight.
[Bridge]
No more chasing shadows, I’m chasing light,
Stepping from darkness, into what's right,
Letting go of all the weight I’ve carried,
Finding hope in dreams I buried.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’ve been chasing dreams in the dark,
Counting the moments, watching the sparks,
Not for the money or the fame in sight,
I just want to feel alive tonight.
[Outro]
So here I am, in the quiet glow,
Chasing dreams only my heart will know,
No more counting riches, no more empty stars,
Just the beat of life, wherever you are.
