Chasing Another Man's Dream

Walking down the streets of New York the other day
I ran into a friend from far away
He said, My man, your spirit looks the color of city grey
Have you been chasing another man's dream?

I let his words roll all over my bones
Twist into the caverns of my soul
And I wondered how much it really showed
Had I been chasing another man's dream?
Chasing another man's dream

All that I want for my days
Is to wake up with some sunlight on my face
And the feeling there's a reason I am here
Some purpose that put me in this place

I looked inside and saw my passions had grown small
No dogs, no trees, no waves, no mountains tall
When had I stopped listening to their call
And started chasing another man's dream?
I was chasing another man's dream

All that I want for my days
Is to wake up with some sunlight on my face
And the feeling there's a reason I'm here
Some purpose that put me in this place

Ohh

Ohh
What a difference it makes
When you figure out why your soul aches
Time to listen to your heart and put on the brakes
When you're chasing another man's dream
Chasing another man's dream

All that I want for my days
Is to wake up with some sunlight on my face
And the feeling there's a reason I'm here
Some purpose that put me in this place

All that I want for my days
Is to wake up with some sunlight on my face
And the feeling there's a reason I'm here
Some purpose that put me in this place
Some purpose that put me in this place
Some purpose that put me in this place
