Sunlight and Shadows


Some Day

Chasing after something with every breath I spend

A great, elusive something up there just ahead

If I can only make it around the nearest bend

I’ll catch up to this phantom, escape all that I dread

Chasing after somewhere that everything is good

And in this perfect somewhere my life falls into place

My role, my world, my plan for life is clearly understood

And every puzzle piece is fit so neatly in its space

Chasing after someday when all these things are found

I’ll finally stop searching and enjoy life all the way

Complete with love, success, and health – perfection all around

I’ll have no fear, regret, or doubt to darken any day

Chasing after something, somewhere, somehow, some day

When all along, it’s been right here, if I will only stay
