Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars
Show me a glint of light from the moon
and I will show you hope
Her beauty and her elegance is never marred
Show me a glimpse of her glow
and I will show you love
Her titan strength is in her luminous glare
Show me the stars and I will understand the moon
if I shoot for the moon and land on the stars, that's ok.
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.

I woke up this morning and she wasn't there
I looked in her eyes and saw that vacant stare
I woke up this morning and felt her phantom pain
It spilled out from my heart and spun around the drain
She heard the call and so did I
We felt the pain that will not die
She met the ghosts and found me there
Through drifting dreadlocks in her hair
Don't tell me where salvation lies
It's not the time to find my eyes
We made a case to save the day
Misguided dreams got in the way
I get out of bed and wash my face
And I see a ghost without a place
Where disjointed truth becomes another lie
Let's re-bend the light and let this rainy day dry
So she picks me up from our creaky wood floor
She says "you're with me; so don't worry anymore"
As slaves to the cycle of our complicated mess
We aim for the sun; and never ask for less
