The Unseen Dream

[Verse] In halls of learned grey A scholar stands forlorn Degrees in frames display Future once bright now torn [Verse 2] Library hours spent Wisdom's depths he dived Now his spirit bent Seeking where dreams have thrived [Chorus] The unseen dream we chase In gowns of bleak despair No work to find our place Voices in silent air [Verse 3] Night falls the streets are cold Youth strays from its intent Promises of gold Within them barely lent [Bridge] Notes of hopeful past Echoes fading fast Hope not meant to last Why this shadow cast [Verse 4] Fields that once did shine Vacant like the silent moon Hearts in downward line Faces blank as noon
