Reaching for the Stars

We all have hopes,

we all have dreams,

we reach for stars,

maybe land on the moon.

But down they come,

like falling stars, one by one,

into a sea of heartbreak, to which we succumb.

When will my day come,

to reach the stars,

touch the moon,

and wander far?

Or will I always be reaching,

never grasping,

to the skies above,

are they too far gone?

We all have hopes,

we all have dreams,

we reach for the stars,

maybe land on the moon.
