I'm Shooting High
Aiming for Love: Louis Armstrong's High-Flying Pursuit
Lyrics
I'm shooting high
I have ambitious goals
Got my eye on a star in the sky, shooting high
I am aiming for something great and distant, like a star in the sky
I'll never stop till I get to the top
I won't cease my efforts until I reach the pinnacle
Tell me why, shooting high
Questioning the reason or motivation behind aiming high
You know it's you I'm after
Expressing a pursuit of someone specific
You're my lucky star
Referring to someone as a source of luck or fortune
I'm on a rainbow rafter
Feeling uplifted and optimistic, like being on a rainbow
Climbing up to where you are
Striving to reach the level or position of someone significant
I'll have the time
Having the opportunity
It's a climb
There's effort required to achieve the goal
But I'll make it
Confident in overcoming challenges to reach the goal
'Cause I'm shooting high
Reiterating the determination to aim high
Every morning when I raise my blind
Starting the day optimistically
To greet another day
Welcoming a new day
I begin by making up my mind
Deciding to approach the day with a positive mindset
That it's my lucky day
Believing that today will bring good fortune
I'm shooting high
Reiterating the ambitious goal
Got my eye on a star in the sky, shooting high
Reaffirming the pursuit of something distant and extraordinary
I'll never stop till I get to the top
Commitment to continue striving until reaching the highest point
Tell me why, shooting high
Repeating the inquiry about the reason for aiming high
You know it's you I'm after
Continuing to pursue someone specific
You're my lucky star
Seeing someone as a symbol of luck or positive influence
I'm on a rainbow rafter
Feeling elevated and hopeful, akin to being on a rainbow
Climbing up to where you are
Striving to reach the level or place where someone important is
I'll have the time
Having the necessary duration
It's a climb
Recognizing the effort required to achieve the goal
But I'll make it
Confidently asserting the ability to succeed despite challenges
'Cause I'm shooting high
Reaffirming the determination to aim high
