Reach


You’ve got that look in your eyes And I can see you’re off somewhere Building castles in the air Hoping one day you can live up there Hoping one day that you’ll be up there Your heart is set on bigger, brighter things But I don’t want you just to spread your wings I want you to soar like there’s no tomorrow I want you to reach like there’s no end to the sky I want you to fly til there’s no such thing as faster And remember when you’re up so high Whatever you do, don’t look down You’ve got that fire in your heart So don’t you let nobody put it out Or put a damper on your smile It lights the world for a thousand miles I see it shining for a thousand miles Your heart is set on bigger, brighter things But I don’t want you just to spread your wings I want you to soar like there’s no tomorrow I want you to reach like there’s no end to the sky I want you to fly til there’s no such thing as faster And remember when you’re up so high Whatever you do, don’t look down

I'm an 18 year old writer who has been writing for as long as I can remember. From short stories, fanfiction, and poetry to song lyrics and music composition, I manage to keep my self constantly busy all day and all night. But I enjoy it. Writing is my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
