	This song refers to many people who seem to be slaves of their own desires. It appears as if all grip of reality is gone and they simply shut it off. Their desperate for happiness but rather than trying to make it happen, they keep their eyes to the ground, close their ears to the sound, and move in rhythm to their own private dance.

	Lyrics Never once did I believe I wouldn't be successful My dream was to be rich or famous sometime As I grew older it became more a memory the reality of the daily grind People have big dreams and I don't begrudge them All people should have dreams But to become totally consumed by them That is where they go amiss Keeping their eyes on the ground Closing their ears to the sound People moving in rhythm To their own private dance. When the time comes for them to go, What can they say? They were a slave to their dreams. I will relax and enjoy my life as it unwinds Not just a mindless slave to my desires. A simple thought or idea Can Create a perfect world With a perfect notion Harmony within humanity A perfection of emotion Keeping their eyes on the ground Closing their ears to the sound People moving in rhythm To their own private dance.
