Caught in a Cycle

In this relentless world, where money leads the way We often trade our values, let dreams fade away A world of golden splendor, riches all around A life of opulence and luxury, so grandly renowned But deep within the heart, a hunger still remains A thirst for more and more, an insatiable flame Griefing for more, though all has been gained Caught in a cycle, desire unrestrained Aching for what's beyond the gleaming shore Blinded by longing, always wanting more And always wanting more A world of constant wanting, never satisfied Chasing after riches, leaving our hearts denied Material pursuits and endless greed Blinding us to the simple things we need Griefing for more, though all has been gained Caught in a cycle, desire unrestrained Aching for what's beyond the gleaming shore Blinded by longing, always wanting more Griefing for more, though all has been gained Caught in a cycle, desire unrestrained Aching for what's beyond the gleaming shore Blinded by longing, always wanting more And always wanting more In the midst of splendor, a lesson to be learned That the heart's deepest yearning, can't always be discerned For beyond the endless wanting, lies a truth so pure Contentment in the present, the ultimate allure Does true fulfillment lie in what's possessed Or in life's simple moments, often overlooked by stress Stacking up the wealth, houses tall and grand Yet in the quiet moments, the soul can't understand Your soul can't understand
