"The Wind"by Layanne
They always told me to dream big
So that is what I always did
But my father told me different
The one thing that he always said

You'll never catch the wind
No matter how you try to bend
You'll never catch the wind
I know you will try again and again
But the sad truth is
You'll never catch the wind

Here I am, ten years later
Honestly, everything could be better
Living in my one-bedroom apartment
Have an old beat-up car
And I'm broken-hearted

Lost my job last month
Prayin to the gods above
That I'll just make it by

You'll never catch the wind
No matter how you try to bend
You'll never catch the wind
I know you will try again and again
But the sad truth is
You'll never catch the wind [x2]

I look around at all I've lost
And it makes me think of
All I've got

I drive to my fathers house tonight
Look him in the eyes
And say

Daddy, I caught the wind
I didn't have to try and bend
I realized it's all in a good friend
I finally caught the wind
As long as you try again and again
It is possible
That you just might catch
The wind
