{Verse}
There's a boy I used to know
He was always searching high and low
Others looked and wondered why
He said I am reaching for the sky
{Verse}
They say good will come to those who wait
Don't think too big just know your place
People don't belong in clouds or space
It's just an empty quest for ego's sake
{Chorus}
He said I'll be reaching for the sky
I have to see how high it goes
While others they won't even try
I'll be reaching for the sky
{Verse}
Do the stars shine brighter there?
Can you really walk on air?
{Chorus}
If other men have reached the moon
Saturn's rings could be mine soon
He said I am reaching for the sky
'Cause I have to know how high it goes
And others they won't even try
I'll be reaching for the sky
I'll be reaching for the sky
