Lyrics

"Like Chasing a Leaf" (leaf.mid)

(Intro)

(Verse 1)
Just like chasing a leaf
That is tossed by the wind,
That you never quite reach
'Til it takes off again;
Just like building on clouds
Floating high in the blue,
I was chasing a dream
That would never come true.

They say the hardest part of life
Is broken dreams,
For true reality is seldom
What it seems.
There's no use crying over
Things that won't come true,
But ask the Lord to tell you
What He wants to do.

And yes, I know
The extent of human yearning,
All the things in life we long for,
All the torches that are burning;
And yes, I can see
That your tender heart is aching;
But your dreams will not come true,
Especially for you,
'Til you're following the Spirit
Of the Lord.

(Verse 2)
If you're chasing a dream,
You must first let it go,
For it won't come to rest
'Til the Lord makes it so;
No more building on clouds
Floating high up above;
Learn to trust in His will,
And depend on His love.

And yes, Jesus knows
The extent of human yearning,
All the things in life you long for,
All the torches that are burning;
And yes, Jesus cares
That your tender heart is aching;
But your dreams will not come true,
Especially for you,

(Ending)
'Til your heart's an open door
For whatever is in store
When you're following the Spirit
Of the Lord.
