Chasing after the wind,
is as impossible as it sounds.
Some say its a waste of time,
but i still fallow it around

Across the map of life,
the wind is sure to go,
swirling just in front of me,
a literal airshow

Some let their life, pass them by,
collecting countless sins,
But i will spend my numbered time,
chasing after the wind.
