Version 1
Verse 1:
From a distance, I watched you find a prize,
A sword and armor that sparkled in your eyes.
Thought yourself rich, with your gear shining bright,
Then you saw a glowing cave, and set off into the night.
Pre-Chorus:
I saw you leave your treasures, chasing after dreams so grand,
Hoping for more riches, letting go of what was in your hand.
The cave was full of dangers, and you wandered far away,
Left behind the real rewards, as you chased the false display.
[hook]
Ooouuuooh-oh-oh, aaah
((Ooouuuooh-oh-oh, aaah))
Chorus:
Oh, the lost treasure, you left behind for a gleam,
Dropped the sword and the armor, for a fleeting dream.
What’s the use in longing, when the prize is in your hand?
Chasing false illusions, makes you lose what you had planned.
Verse 2:
In that darkened cave, the risks were all too high,
The loot was just a trap, and I saw your hopes go by.
The diamond sword was gone, and your armor couldn’t save,
Left with empty hands, and regrets that made you brave.
Pre-Chorus:
I wish you’d held on tightly, to the treasures you had found,
Value what you’ve got, before it slips away and drowns.
Hold on to your gear, don’t let illusions lead you astray,
Cherish what you have, and don’t let dreams make you sway.
Chorus:
Oh, the lost treasure, you left behind for a gleam,
Dropped the sword and the armor, for a fleeting dream.
What’s the use in longing, when the prize is in your hand?
Chasing false illusions, makes you lose what you had planned.
Outro:
In this life, I hope you find your way,
Cherish what you hold close, and let no dreams lead you astray.
For in the world of many quests, may wisdom guide your path,
Value what you have now, and avoid the aftermath.
