Chase

Robert Schilling

Keep it on the side, little girl in white

Keep it as the portrait of your pain

Keep it on the inside, a silhouette of time

Keep it in the framework of your day



Free as a fly, the bird in the sky

The basket of everlasting life

Locked in the mouth, dead by the docks

Going nowhere fast today



Chase the dream, running down the street

Chase tomorrow's hope for peace

Chase your needs, fragile leaves

Chase nothing 'till its seen

It's black and white, it hides, free



Keep it in your heart, never change the hunt

Keep it in your faith, never chase the blame

Keep it in your soul, never lose your cool

Keep it in your name, and from those afraid to chase....Dreams



Back in the saddle, the city kettle

Sweat pours out from the veins

But before I leave you, a gray old man

The chase is the common thread of man
