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 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 He said I'm be reaching for the sky 'Cause I have to see how high it goes While others, they won't even try I'll be reaching for the sky Do the stars shine brighter there? Can you really walk on air? If other men have touched the moon Then Saturn's rings could be mine soon He said I'm reaching for the sky 'Cause I have to know how high it goes While others, they won't even try I'll be reaching for the sky I'll be reaching for the sky
