Reach for the Sky lyrics

Reach for the sky and you, you can do anything.

Reach for the sky and you’re, you’re flying free.

Reach for the sky and you, you can be anyone.

Reach for the sky and be a star!

Reach for the sky and be a star!

And if the things you try seem impossible,

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

Because anything can be possible

If you reach for the sky.

Give it heart, Give it mind,
Give it soul, don’t stop!

Everybody has gifts,
So we’re gonna work together,
And we’re gonna learn to give!
