Chasing an Empty Dream

Sometimes I wonder
If it's all been in vain
It seems nothing matters
Everybody chasing fame
With no message
For the young to hold on to
You take what you can
God help the man who will try to stop you

Is it real?
What they feel
What's the deal?
When you're chasing an empty dream

The young generation
Trying hard to be understood
Respect your bodies
Try to do what your mama would
'Cause everyone
Is looking to make a buck
With no ambition
Wanting money to come by luck

Is it real?
What they feel
What's the deal?
When you're chasing an empty dream

Maybe tomorrow
The words of yesterday
And the message they carry
May help them find their way, oh
Maybe tomorrow
Looking back on yesterday
And the message they carry
Will help them find a way

Sometimes I think about
The sacrifices that were made
Are long forgotten
In the material world of today

Is it real?
What they feel
What's the deal?
What they feel
Is it real?
What they feel
What's the deal?
When you're chasing an empty dream
Do you feel
What they feel
What's the deal?
Chasing an empty dream
