Verse 1 Dawn breaks, another day begun, the city starts its hum. Chasing shadows 'til the setting sun, for treasures never won. We fill our hands, we try to grasp, for futures far away. A weary sigh, a silent gasp, at the close of every day. Pre-Chorus But what's the prize for all this strain, this never-ending race? Just empty pockets in the rain, a fleeting, hurried pace. Chorus They say better is a handful of rest, than two handfuls of hard work, And chasing after the wind, just chasing after the wind. Oh, better is a handful of rest, than burdens in your vest, And chasing after the wind, you're chasing after the wind. Verse 2 See the faces, worn and tight, beneath the heavy load. Burning candles through the night, on life's demanding road. They pile up riches, stack their fame, believing it will bring A lasting joy, a sweeter name, a song they hope to sing. Pre-Chorus But what's the prize for all this strain, this never-ending race? Just empty pockets in the rain, a fleeting, hurried pace. Chorus They say better is a handful of rest, than two handfuls of hard work, And chasing after the wind, just chasing after the wind. Oh, better is a handful of rest, than burdens in your vest, And chasing after the wind, you're chasing after the wind. Bridge It ain't about the grand pursuit, or mountains left to climb. But finding peace within the root, of space and quiet time. To breathe it in, to let it go, to hear your spirit call. To plant a seed and watch it grow, before you lose it all. Chorus 'Cause better is a handful of rest, than two handfuls of hard work, And chasing after the wind, just chasing after the wind. Oh, better is a handful of rest, than burdens in your vest, And chasing after the wind, you're chasing after the wind. Outro Just a handful of rest... Leave the wind to chase itself... Find your peace... and truly bless. (Fade out)
