Reach
School Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I've seen the footprints on the moon
Why do they say the sky is the limit?
When I've seen the footprints on the moon
And I know the sky might be high
But baby it ain't really that high
And I know that Mars might be far
But baby it ain't really that far
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars
(Let me see your hands up)
(Let me see your hands up)
Can't nobody hold me back
They can't hold me down
They can't keep me trapped
Tie me to the ground
Told y'all people that we don't mess around
When I turn it up
Please don't turn me (down)
I'ma turn it up
Louder than I was before
Like a lion out the jungle, you can hear me roar
I ain't lying, I'm as serious as cancer
It's a mega smasher, I'ma ghetto blaster
Hands up, reach for the stars
Hands up, get 'em up high
Hands up, if you really feel alive
Live it up, live it up
Why they say the sky is the limit
When I've seen the footprints on the moon
Why do they say the sky is the limit
When I've seen the footprints on the moon
And I know the sky, might be high
But baby it ain't really that high
And I know that Mars, might be far
But baby it ain't really that far
Let's reach for the stars
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars
Reach for the stars
Let's reach for the stars (Let me see your hands up)
The School Choir's song "Reach for the Stars" is an uplifting and motivational anthem that encourages listeners to aim high and pursue their dreams fearlessly. The opening lyrics, "Why they say the sky is the limit?/ When I've seen the footprints on the moon," challenge conventional thinking and the limitations that people often put on themselves. The singer suggests that if humans can accomplish something as monumental as walking on the moon, then nothing is truly out of reach.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Reach for the stars" as a call to action, inviting everyone to join in on this pursuit of greatness. Despite the challenges that may come with reaching for such lofty goals, the singer reminds us that nothing is truly insurmountable. "And I know the sky might be high/ But baby it ain't really that high/ And I know that Mars might be far/ But baby it ain't really that far." The repetition of the phrase "let's reach for the stars" at the end of each chorus serves as a powerful reminder to stay focused and keep striving for success.
The song continues with a call to action for listeners to raise their hands in the air and to let their energy and passion shine through. The line "Can't nobody hold me back/ They can't hold me down" is a reminder that external factors and obstacles should never limit your potential. The singer implores the audience to live their lives to the fullest and embrace the thrill of the chase.
Ultimately, "Reach for the Stars" is a powerful and empowering anthem that encourages listeners to break free of the limitations imposed on them and reach for greatness. It is a reminder that anything is possible and that the only thing standing in the way of our success is often ourselves.
