[Verse 1] The sky turns gold on the water Your name sits warm on my tongue I stood at the edge of the harbor And felt that I still could run My hands were full of old shadows My pockets full of rain But you said, "Look up, keep going" So I carried the flame [Pre-Chorus] And I reach, reach higher Past the tired ground I hear that quiet fire When the sun goes down [Chorus] We reach for the stars Reach for the stars With a heart full of light And a body that scars We reach for the stars Reach for the stars Even after the dark We know who we are [Verse 2] Your shoes left prints in the sand there Mine were barely enough Still we walked like we meant it Still we trusted the climb The tide kept pulling at my sleeves The wind kept testing my spine But every step said "not yet" And every breath said "rise" [Pre-Chorus] And I reach, reach higher Past the tired ground I hear that quiet fire When the sun goes down [Chorus] We reach for the stars Reach for the stars With a heart full of light And a body that scars We reach for the stars Reach for the stars Even after the dark We know who we are [Bridge] If the night asks for my fear I'll hand it broken and small If the road starts disappearing I'll still answer the call [Final Chorus] We reach for the stars Reach for the stars With a heart full of light And a body that scars We reach for the stars Reach for the stars Even after the dark We know who we are We reach for the stars Reach for the stars And the sky opens wide When we rise, when we rise
