Lyrics
There's a boy I used to know
Reflecting on a boy from the past.
He was always searching high and low
He consistently sought in various places.
Others looked and wondered why
Others observed and questioned his actions.
He said I am reaching for the sky
Expressing his aspiration to achieve great things.
They say good will come to those who wait
Referencing the belief that patience leads to good outcomes.
Don't think too big, just know your place
Cautioning against overambition, advising to understand one's limitations.
People don't belong in clouds or space
Rejecting the idea that people should aim for unreachable goals.
It's just an empty quest for ego's sake
Criticizing pursuits driven solely by ego.
He said I'm be reaching for the sky
Reiterating the determination to reach for ambitious goals.
'Cause I have to see how high it goes
Motivated by the desire to explore the limits of achievement.
While others, they won't even try
Contrasting with those who avoid challenges.
I'll be reaching for the sky
Reaffirming the commitment to reach for the sky.
Do the stars shine brighter there?
Pondering if success brings added brilliance.
Can you really walk on air?
Questioning the feasibility of extraordinary feats.
If other men have touched the moon
Comparing the boy's aspirations to historical achievements.
Then Saturn's rings could be mine soon
Expressing the belief in attaining grand accomplishments.
He said I'm reaching for the sky
Reiterating the determination to explore limits.
'Cause I have to know how high it goes
Motivated by the curiosity to know the extent of achievement.
While others, they won't even try
Highlighting the contrast with those who avoid challenges.
I'll be reaching for the sky
Reaffirming the commitment to reach for the sky.
I'll be reaching for the sky
Final declaration of the commitment to pursue ambitious goals.
