Reaching For The stars
When I was young
I wondered why
I couldn't reach up
And touch the sky
I thought I only
Had to grow tall
Couldn't reach it
'cause I was too small
But then I grew up
And came to understand
The sky wasn't something
You could touch with your hand
My longing to touch
The stars diminished
And I felt my dream
Was truly finished
But now I find
Since I've grown old
My dreams have changed
No longer raw and bold
The longing wasn't wrong
It was something true
On a different plane
It's what I needed to do
Don't lose your dreams
Whatever they be
I'll tell you a secret
Between you and me
Every dream is needed
To lead to the true
Place in your life
To be truly you
