Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seemed so far away, hey
Da, dada, dadadada
It's so funny how quick things can change
Don't wanna make the same mistakes, hey
Over and over again
I'll push myself a little harder
'Cause my dreams ain't that much farther, hey
I won't give up without a fight
I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right
So I can see the day
When I can have things my way
I'ma start all over
Things are getting closer
I can see it, baby
Although I've had my highs and lows
I'ma push down that road, yeah
Da, dada, dadadada
My Lord keeps sending me the signs
I know this one is gonna be mine, yeah
It won't happen if I don't try, no
This time I'll be a little smarter
I'll push myself a little harder
'Cause my dreams ain't that much farther, hey
I won't give up without a fight
I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right
So I can see the day
When I can have things my way
I'ma start all over
Things are getting closer
I can see it, baby
I won't give up without a fight
I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right
So I can see the day
When I can have things my way
I'ma start all over
Things are getting closer, alright
I'ma be that one shining brighter than the sun
Da, dada, dadadoda
It's time to have some fun
Feels like I've already won
Don't give up without a fight
I won't give up without a fight
I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right
So I can see the day
When I can have things my way
I'ma start all over
Things are getting closer
I can see it, baby
I won't give up without a fight
I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right
So I can see the day
When I can have things my way
I'ma start all over
Things are getting closer
I can see it, baby
See it, see it
