There's something inside of you
You just can't explain
You can think I'm laughing now
It's driving you insane

Burning desire is what you got
You know there's only one cure

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Doesn't matter who you are (for the stars)
Don't let nothing stand in your way

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
You're gonna make it someday
Someday

Even your best friends will say
"Don't be a dreamer, girl
Get your head out the clouds
Get in the real world"

They're well intentioned but they don't know
What you got going on inside

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Doesn't matter who you are (for the stars)
Don't let nothing stand in your way

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
You're gonna make it someday

Everytime you think you got it made
Something goes wrong (something goes wrong)
Don't you let that get you down

'Cause winners fight while losers walk away
If your heart's strong (if your heart's strong)
Everything will turn around

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Doesn't matter who you are (for the stars)
Don't let nothing stand in your way

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
Reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
You're gonna make it someday

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
(keep reachin')
Doesn't matter who you are (for the stars)
(keep on reachin')
Don't let nothing stand in your way

You gotta keep reachin' for the stars (for the stars)
(keep reachin')
Reachin' for the stars (for the stars) (keep on reachin')
You're gonna make it someday

You gotta keep reachin'
