Reach
Everyone has a star so close they can feel
 The heat emanating from its fiery core
 And you try to grab it but miss by inches
 When all you wanted was to be something more
 
 You live your life trying to tear off a label
 That was given to you by hypocrites at most
 Who let others carry their own burdens
 Just so they have the time and energy to boast
 
 So I tell you to reach and dive past all your problems
 Grab the star that’s been clouded by doubt and fear
 Let its flame of desire burn deep inside you
 From the wish, oh so far, but inevitably near
 
 Now surround yourself with your real and true friends
 Those who love you solely for your own self
 And who ignore the kinds that are made in factories
 With several clone-like copies still sitting on the shelf
 
 Just set free your spirit with its own unique flame
 And don’t be afraid just to be who you are
 If you haven’t noticed yet, a miracle has happened
 Congratulations, my friend, you have just grabbed your star
