I am reaching for the stars far behind any cloud 

I wonder about my future that soon will be endowed

I hear the sound of laughter ringing through my home

I see my faithful dogs at my side as they roam

I want to be successful, to make my parents proud

I am reaching for the stars far behind any cloud

I pretend I can always do it all

I feel I will not measure up, I feel as if I am small

I worry with the expectations, only short is where I may fall

I cry when responsibilities seem to overcrowd

I am reaching for the stars far behind any cloud 

I understand I am only human just like the rest

I say things only to strive to be my best

I dream of a day when I can just look back

I try to be happy everyday I hit the sack

I hope to be grateful with the life I was allowed

I am reaching for the stars far behind any cloud
