Reach for the Stars

The yearning for a dream is out of reach so long as one tries to force their will upon the world, yet when in harmony with the wonders of the world, when willing to allow the dream to happen rather than force it, all things become possible. Don't look to outside forces to find fulfillment; search within, then share what you find.

When [A] still but a chi-ld, I'd reach up / to grasp at the stars for to hold them / with the palm of my ha-nd closing tight / yet never did I catch m-y dream / Slow [B] tears of bitterest memories / I'd hide in the fall of the rain / 'neath clouds full of sorrow and emptiness /I'd weep for my failure and pain / I [C] hold to the dream high above my head / the stars close, yet so far away from me / I know one day, I'll surely catch that light / and hold heaven's fires to m-y heart. The fancies of childhood will fade away / and wisdom will grow in its place Yet ever those stars beckon in the night / should I ever brave reaching to space / [D] interlude As [E] time measures new years and fu-tures unfold / and life brings new meaning to my days / I glance at the stars that shine above / and remember what I used to dream I'd [F] reach for the stars high above my head / I'd wish on the promise of light / I'd hold tight to dreams running through my heart / then I'd wake to the darkness of night The [G] stars, they fell away from me / yet burned bright in to my mind's eye- / Where the hopes of a young child might live once again / and answer the heart's crying Just [H] reach for the stars that shine high above / don't lose faith in what you can do / a dream never loses its honesty / unless shattered by bitter re- [I] -gret Interlude If I [J] stop grabbing stars and look all around / I find beauty surrounding me- / and the stars / they ignite my dreams here I soar to the skies on m-y own / I [K] dance with the world that I call my home / the stars keeping track of my flight / the power of a dream holds my head on high / as my hands hold on tight to a hope A [L] dream that I might weather / the lost years that I gave awa-y / don't let bitterness hold you fast / reach high for your dreams, let them in
