Every one follows

All follows

🎵 "Everyone Follows"

I ran one day, no map, no way

Chasing dreams that fade away

It wasn't me, but still they say

"That’s just the way you play"

Pressure tight, my mind was loud

The world below, my head in clouds

Is this the life I dreamed about?

Or just a broken route?

I looked behind—surprised to see

A thousand feet walked after me

They didn’t know my pain or why

They followed still, no question—why?

They copied moves, like mirrors lie

But no one lived—just passed me by

I stopped to breathe, they left the air

Their stories vanished—no one cared

The world became a tape on loop

Same voices in a lifeless group

I tried a car, with winds so free

Next day they all drove next to me

The tales they told, their show and flair

But none had truth—they weren’t there

One day I saved a drowning mule

Cleaned her up, made her cool

Brushed her hair, made her shine

Then everyone said, “That mule is mine”

I looked behind—what did I find?

Reflections lost in humankind

No reason why, no aim, no grace

Just empty echoes in the race

So tell me now, what should I do?

Why does the world keep chasing too?

Oh God above, give me a clue

Why does it always end this way...

With no one walking their own way?
