Chase the Vision

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

I used to measure worth in praise

Kept chasing light in borrowed rays

But every cheer began to fade

And left me lost in what they made

Pre-Chorus

Then I heard a whisper deep inside

“Your truth don’t need a place to hide”

Chorus

Chase the vision, not the validation

Build your fire without their invitation

Let your soul be the architect

Of dreams they haven’t seen yet

You don’t need their confirmation

Just chase the vision, not the validation

Verse 2

I’ve walked through rooms that felt too loud

Where silence felt like being proud

But quiet work and sacred plans

Grow stronger when they’re in your hands

Bridge

Let them talk, let them doubt

You’re not here to figure them out

The stars don’t ask for praise to shine

They just show up, every time

Final Chorus

Chase the vision, not the validation

Live your truth without translation

Let your steps be bold and clear

Even when no one’s near

You don’t owe an explanation

Just chase the vision, not the validation
