Lyrics
Reaching for Stars
(verse)Over the top of a distant mountain
Over the edge of an ancient sea
Over the sands of an endless desert
Over and over it sings to me
(chorus) Deeper and deeper into the moment
Farther and farther, follow the dream
Higher and higher, into the heavens
Reaching and reaching for stars
(verse) Calling from raindrops that hinder my vision
Calling from beckoning wind on my skin
Calling from blistering heat on my body
Over and over it calls to me
(chorus) Deeper and deeper into the moment
Farther and farther, follow the dream
Higher and higher, into the heavens
Reaching and reaching for stars
(bridge) I am alive, ready to soar
... into the struggle
over and over again
(chorus) Deeper and deeper into the moment
Farther and farther, follow the dream
Higher and higher, into the heavens
Reaching and reaching for stars
