lyrics

For The Stars

I’ve learned to live without what I desire and with what I got
that don’t mean that I’m satisfied and it don’t mean I’m not
Nothing to show but my failures and weaknesses, bruises and scars
Gravity’s getting to me, still I each for the stars

Well, the globalized virtual reality is changing so fast
yesterday’s tomorrow tonight is a thing of the past
and only a relic would still read the paper and still love the sound of guitars
Maturity’s getting to me, still I reach for the stars

Reach for the stars
they slip farther away every day
reach for the stars
something to strive for, something to stay alive for

I’m too old now to jump high enough to believe I can fly
but that’s not a good enough reason to not even try
all that man really needs is a dream and a fire in his heart
the human body and mind are designed to reach for the stars

Reach for the stars
they slip farther away every day
reach for the stars
something to strive for, something to stay alive for

I’m too old now to jump high enough to believe I can fly
but that’s not a good enough reason to not even try
I look at the sky and it don’t look too close but it’s never too far
I won’t heed the cynic in me, I’ll reach for the stars
