Echoes in the Wind

We wander like rivers, chasing shadows of light Voices collide in the dark of the night Torn apart by the hands we can't see In the storm we're lost, but think we're free Whispers grow louder, the lines start to blur Spinning in circles, we're not who we were Crashing like waves, but no one can tell Who pulls the strings in this quiet hell We're echoes in the wind, falling like rain Reaching for answers we can't explain They say we're different, but we're all the same Caught in the tide of someone else's game We rise, we fall, like leaves in the air Searching for truth that's never quite there Just echoes in the wind, scattered and cold Chasing the stories we've all been sold Flags on the horizon pull us away We follow the paths, but the signs start to fade Marching through dust, we fight for the sun But don't see the battles we've already won Deep in the night, the truth slips between The cracks in our thoughts, in the spaces unseen We're carried by forces we don't understand Lost in a world spun by someone's hand We're echoes in the wind, falling like rain Reaching for answers we can't explain They say we're different, but we're all the same Caught in the tide of someone else's game We rise, we fall, like leaves in the air Searching for truth that's never quite there Just echoes in the wind, scattered and cold Chasing the stories we've all been sold Like trees in a storm, we bend but we break Reaching for light in a dawn that won't wake We're tied to the ground, but we reach for the sky The more we fight, the more we ask why And while we collide, they watch from afar We tear ourselves down, forgetting who we are The branches stretch out, but the roots dig deep We dream of the sky, but we're buried in sleep We're echoes in the wind, falling like rain Reaching for answers we can't explain They say we're different, but we're all the same Caught in the tide of someone else's game We rise, we fall, like leaves in the air Searching for truth that's never quite there Just echoes in the wind, lost in the storm Reaching for something, never reborn.
