Reach a Little Longer
Russell Allen & Jørn Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgot the reason why I started searching
I couldn't remember all my dreams
Couldn't see the beauty surrounding me
Take another deep breath
Don't look down, keep your eyes closed
Let your dream completely take over
I haven't come this far to quit right now
To give up here and now
Chorus:
I will give it one more try
Try to get closer to the sky
The time hasn't come for me to leave this place
How can I surrender here when my vision is so clear
I just have to reach, reach a little longer.
Passing through life with no faith
Unaware of the world around
Tried to recall why I came
Tried to remember why I'm here.
So take another deep breath....
Don't look down, keep your eyes closed
Let your dream completely take over
I know that I would never fall
I haven't come this far to quit right now
To give up here and now
I will give it one more try
Try to get closer to the sky
The time hasn't come for me to leave this place
How can I surrender here when my vision is so clear
I just have to reach, reach a little longer.
Many times I lost my hope
Forgot the reason why I started searching
I will give it one more try
Try to get closer to the sky
The time hasn't come for me to leave this place
I will not surrender here when my vision is so clear
I just have to reach, reach a little longer.
