Reaching For The stars

When I was young I wondered why I couldn't reach up And touch the sky I thought I only Had to grow tall Couldn't reach it 'cause I was too small But then I grew up And came to understand The sky wasn't something You could touch with your hand My longing to touch The stars diminished And I felt my dream Was truly finished But now I find Since I've grown old My dreams have changed No longer raw and bold The longing wasn't wrong It was something true On a different plane It's what I needed to do Don't lose your dreams Whatever they be I'll tell you a secret Between you and me Every dream is needed To lead to the true Place in your life To be truly you
