Reaching for the stars I can't steal them they're not ours Sits right in your hand and shines You say reach for these It's not easy on my knees The way you offer me to climb
I've been entertaining yesterday Past and present they're all mine I don't need a gift from yesterday I don't need a gift that shines
Kiss the book and say You can have them if you pay but What you hold today looks bright Reaching for the sky won't bring them nearer if you try Shining up above
Now I kiss the book and say You'll touch the stars one day It's a big tall wish to fly It's a big tall wish to fly
I've been entertaining yesterday past and present they're all mine I don't need a gift from yesterday I don't need a gift that shines I don't need a gift that shines
