Verse You’re on your own but not alone
Lose yourself within the stream
Result unknown, resilience sown
Keep your heart turned to your dream
Chorus Aim for the target, but remember the target’s not the goal
Aim for the target; it demands something from your soul
Unless you chase your heart’s delight you’re just not doing it right
Aim for the target, but remember the target’s
Not the goal
Verse A breathing space, uncertain face
You are way out on a bough
A hiding place has been erased
Take a look around you now
Chorus Aim for the target, but remember the target’s not the goal.
Aim for the target; it demands something from your soul
Unless you chase your heart’s delight you’re just not doing it right.
Aim for the target, but remember the target’s
Not the goal
Bridge One eye on the moment, one eye on the mark
The chase is the objective; the target is the spark
Watching every moment for the next right thing
Even unexpected paths deciphering
Verse When no one’s there do you dare
Work towards who you’re meant to be?
Your heart’s aware how much you care
About the gifts you have to bring
Chorus Aim for the target, but remember the target’s not the goal
Aim for the target; it demands something from your soul
Unless you chase your heart’s delight you’re just not doing it right
Aim for the target, but remember the target’s
Not the goal

I listened to “The Target” and I thought the song was very well written, the lyrics intelligent and your vocals, lovely.
