Ghost Of A Chance
Shadow Gallery Lyrics

Walking down some highway midnight North Dakota
I am walking on an empty highway in the middle of the night in North Dakota state, feeling completely alone and out of place.

Somewhere 'round late fall I knew that the time
During the autumn season, I realized that it was time for a change in my life.

Has come for me I'm willing a million stars above me
I feel ready to embrace the change and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, with the stars above me as inspiration.

I tried to catch their fall I tried to catch their fall
I attempted to capture the magic of the stars, though it was an elusive goal.

Inside I felt so empty
I'm feeling a deep sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction with my life.

A stranger to this world so lost
I feel like an outsider and completely lost in this world without any clear direction or purpose.

And as the winter draws I'm turning north
As winter approaches, I am taking a new direction and heading north towards an uncertain future.

I'm leaving things behind I just don't need
I am letting go of the things in my life that do not serve me or bring me joy.

The only things in life of worth are free
I have learned that the most valuable things in life cannot be bought, but come from within or are given to us freely.

To anyone's who's heard the call
This message is for anyone who has felt a similar call to embark on a personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

And turned and walked away
Those who have answered the call have turned away from the status quo and taken a different path.

I've traveled too long on my own
I have been on this journey by myself for what feels like a very long time.

I've got a dream of home
Despite my travels, I still long for a place that I can truly call home.

Safe at last...
I hope to one day find that place of safety and comfort where I can be myself and feel at peace.

Where are all the answers
Despite all my wandering and searching, I still have not found the answers I seek.

And visionary wisdom
I had hoped that wise and visionary individuals would be able to offer me guidance and insights, but that has not been the case.

From the stately and esteemed?
Even those who are respected and esteemed in our society do not necessarily have the answers I am looking for.

Just as I thought...
My fears and doubts about the state of humanity and our world are confirmed.

Disconsolate I ponder
Feeling sad and hopeless, I spend my time reflecting on these issues and what they mean for me personally.

The evil human nature
I am confronted with the fact that human nature itself can be a source of great evil and destruction.

And what it really means
I am struggling to come to terms with what this realization means for my own life and choices.

For the ones who paved the way
I think about the people who came before me and how they dealt with similar challenges and struggles.

No bag of gold can save their souls
Even those who had great wealth and power could not escape the inevitability of their own mortality and the consequences of their actions.

It's like they never feared
It seems as if these powerful individuals lived their lives with a sense of invincibility or denial about their own mortality.

But now their end is near
Despite their wealth and power, these individuals are now facing the reality of their own imminent death.

The flames start leaping
As they face their end, they are consumed by the flames of their own passions and desires.

Baby don't it drop you to your knees?
This realization can be both shocking and devastating, and can cause one to feel helpless and overwhelmed.

The only thing in life of worth is free
Despite all the material wealth and power that some individuals possess, the most valuable things in life cannot be bought or sold.

To anyone's who's heard the call
This message is for anyone who has felt a similar call to embark on a personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

And turned and run away
Those who have answered the call have turned away from the status quo and taken a different path.

Despite this nasty world I roam
Even though the world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, I continue to wander and search for my true purpose.

Imagine going home
I dream of a place where I can finally find peace and true belonging.

Ghost of a chance
Despite all the hardships and uncertainty of life, I still cling to hope and the possibility of finding my place in this world.
