Tokyo Dreams

Heading home to Tokyo dreams unfulfilled

Dreams shattered on time's edge opportunity's gone

Eighty resumes by foot two hundred emails sent

One week of work then fired my efforts all spent

I’m not just anyone I have dreams to chase

Learned I need support to keep up this race

Can’t settle for just any job my art’s my core

But reality hit hard showed what life has in store

Saw a world unknown felt small and weak

My past success meant nothing future looking bleak

Unknown faces pass by wing their gray strings unwind

Searching for my spark in this city’s grand bind

I’m not just anyone I have dreams to chase

Learned I need support to keep up this race

Can’t settle for just any job my art’s my core

But reality hit hard showed what life has in store

Lost in the crowd where the neon lights sing

Heartbeats in tempo to the hopes they bring

Hold on tight promise to never let go

These city streets breathe dreams only they know

Streetlights blur tales of rise and fall

Walking past mirrors that reflect it all

Handful of hope grasped tight as I walk

Heard my own voice in this city’s talk

Lost in the crowd where the neon lights sing

My past success meant nothing future looking bleak

Can’t settle for just any job my art’s my core

But reality hit hard showed what life has in store

Saw a world unknown felt small and weak

My past success meant nothing future looking bleak

Unknown faces pass by wing their gray strings unwind

Searching for my spark in this city’s grand bind

Lost in the crowd where the neon lights sing

Heartbeats in tempo to the hopes they bring

Hold on tight promise to never let go

These city streets breathe dreams only they know
