You Usually Get What You Reach For
If you are reaching too high
you shouldn't have to ask "why?"
If you are reaching too low
There are things, you may never know
If you are reaching too quickly
I am afraid, you might end up being sorry
If you are reaching too slow
Somehow, I think you might never grow
If you are reaching too fast
Whatever it may be, it will never last
If you are reaching for it, tomorrow
Today, all you’ll have are sorrows
If you are reaching for it too late
Well I guess, it’s just never your fate
But if you are reaching, just in the right time
Then surely, you’ll always be mine
