reaching
trying to be free
reaching
hoping tomorrow will be better
reaching
worrying about yesterday
and all of the mistakes I made

reaching for the moon
because I won't settle for the stars

reaching
working towards my goal
reaching
dreaming of a different me
reaching
berating myself when I fail
My self esteem's already frail

reaching for the sun
because I won't settle for the moon

Reaching for the stars
Selling myself short
Reaching for the moon
I can do more, says my heart
Reaching for the sun
Is this tearing me apart?

.......
Reaching for the best
May help you get far
Though it will make you stressed
You can reach way past a star
