Lyrics
Tilting at Windmills by Britt Connors
You set out on your mighty steed
To face an army of tumbleweed
Where there’s no smoke, you’ll find a fire
Confusing kindness for desire
And there you go again
In your world of play-pretend
We all know how this ends
You’re tilting at windmills… again
When every branch looks like a snake
You’ll clear the forest by mistake
Do you know what you’re fighting for
Are you that lonely, or just bored
And there you go again
In your world of play-pretend
We all know how this ends
You’re tilting at windmills…
The things you seek, I hope you find
But in your quest, you’ve lost your mind
