Reachin’ for a Star

[Verse 1]
I've got a friend who says he's been
Everywhere he wanted to go
He read a book or two and he thought he knew
Everything he needed to know
You can't convince his common sense
Whatever will be will be
He rolls the dice and lives his life
With the simple philosophy

[Chorus]
If you're gonna dream, dream big
If you're gonna dance, dance slow
If you're gonna sing, sing loud
If you wanna be heard on the backboards
If you're gonna love, stay true
If you're gonna go, go far
'Cause time is a curse
And there's nothin' worse than never reachin' for a star

[Verse 2]
Some will arrive and some will get close
Some will surely fall by the way
But we're gonna find a place in the sun
Hangin' around in the shade
I'm not a preacher and I'm not teacher
A messenger is all I am
Right or wrong, I'm passin' it on
I'm leavin' it in your hands

[Chorus]
If you're gonna dream, dream big
If you're gonna dance, dance slow
If you're gonna sing, sing loud
If you wanna be heard on the backboards
If you're gonna love, stay true
If you're gonna go, go far
'Cause time is a curse
And there's nothin' worse than never reachin' for a star
If you're gonna dream, dream big
If you're gonna dance, dance slow
If you're gonna sing, sing loud
If you wanna be heard on the backboards
If you're gonna love, stay true
If you're gonna go, go far
'Cause time is a curse
And there's nothin' worse than never reachin' for a star
If you're gonna love, stay true
If you're gonna go, go far
'Cause time is a curse
And there's nothin' worse than never reachin' for a star
If you're gonna dream, dream big
If you're gonna dance, dance slow
If you're gonna sing, sing loud
If you wanna be heard on the backboards
