Shoot for the Moon


My dreams are big - too big, I'm told. 

They say I shouldn't be so bold. 

But tell me why I should not try 

To have the world, to touch the sky. 

They say, "Don't jump so high! You'll fall." 

But if I don't, I'll get nowhere at all. 

I'm content with little, but I hope for a lot, 

And if you think I'm gonna give up, I'm not.
