Zack Hemsey - Road Of Riches​ скачать mp3

Road to riches The motive was to work till a fortune of size grew With which a life of leisure by reason would ensue From which no turn of hardship would threaten to undo To sacrifice the short to invest in the long view And so it went, the hours and weekends they pushed through A family full of ghosts but the payoff would yield huge Till decades down the line this epiphany stung true They’d raised their worth along with a son that they never knew They ride, they ride They chasing crescents in the sky but they hold only a vision They ride They riding toward the sheen of an image They ride that road to riches Right past a road of riches Road to riches They’d gather at the park always after class Where troubles of the youth never seem to last And fantasize of things that they hoped to have How they would all be famous signing autographs They’d let out a laugh But one boy among ‘em, this meant more than he showed Cuz absentee parents always left him alone So love and adoration wasn’t something he’d known And he was adamant that someday he would have it in droves And so it was, celebrity life came to pass With followers and all the acclaim that you could ask But something was amiss, it still eluded his grasp He missed belonging like those days at the park that he’d had They ride, they ride They chasing crescents in the sky but they grasp only the vision They ride They riding toward the sheen of an image They ride their road to riches Right past this road of riches They ride Only they hold a vision Just an image They ride, they ride Riding the road to riches They ride, they ride Just an image Chasing crescents in the sky They’re riding a road to riches I ride, I ride I’m riding that road of riches They ride for that pot of gold As they’re blinded by their obsession Racing toward a rainbow engaged in a fool’s errand Dogged in pursuit there’s no altering their perception Till they spin out at the bend and they wake up inside the trenches And this the moral them fables had failed to mention Many fall to ruin succeeding in their objectives Realized opportunities flourish among the wreckage When goals are selected, but methods are ignored When misaligned incentives undermine a greater cause When shadows of perspective cloak the end you’re working towards Like movements of the heavens that the senses don’t regard These moments pass ‘em by, their own precession of the stars So put to work all the lessons that you can draw To reach out for the moon let it capture you from afar As seams of perfection are sewn with the silk of flaws The riches that you seek are existent right where you are
