Shoot For the Stars

Aim high to shoot for the stars, 
Set our goal beyond the cloud; 
Try to attain something tough, 
Fly and rise above the crowd.

Fix our eyes at the jewel, 
Turning each of them not blind; 
Open them to rugged road, 
As ray of light we can find.

Focus our mind on the gem, 
Thinking of the precious prize; 
Though dream is hard to achieve, 
We should trust to realize.

Keep our confidence alive, 
Hoping to reach ambition; 
Never take our sacrifice
From glory to oblivion.

Touch the skyway of twinkle, 
So the sparkle will be ours; 
Tread on the path to heaven, 
Climb up and shoot for the stars.
