Austin Stambaugh - The Having Of It

To Rate
There was a time in my life
I searched for something i felt that i had to prove
So i crossed a great distance for something to show
And the wanting of it got me through
So i took all i'd known and i left my home
And little brother behind
Now the more that i get the freedom i want
The more that i find

The having of it
The having of it
Ain't like what you think
It's more of a dream
A little flower crushed in my hands

No i ain't saying now
That i regret how that light shown from afar
And haunted the miles where i lingered a while
With my heart chained up in the stars
But i can't seem to shake, i can only relate
To a prison of my design
For when i reach out to take
I don't find that it's ever really mine

The having of it
The having of it
Ain't like what you think
It's more of a dream
A little flower crushed in my hands
