Keep Reaching For The Stars

Make it through one more excrutiating day
Screaming on the inside, thinking of the pay
No-one told us it was going to be this way
No going backward, we’re on a one way street
With chains around our feet, keep marching to the beat
Get up, get by, repeat
Deep down in the dungeon, we’re hidden from the sun
Sifting through the garbage, we’re shifting metric tonnes
Of useless information while searching for the prize
It dulls our intuition, it closes up our eyes but
Keep pushing through the dark, keep reaching for the stars
Need to find that thing that makes you glad inside
While you’re grinding through the gears of daily life
Don’t stop looking for the little rays of sunshine
So keep moving forward, there’s no way to retreat
But we can choose the street, and we can change the beat
Get up, get on, repeat
We’re lost in the forest, we’re looking for a sign
But the trees block our vision, they keep us dumb and blind
We’re locked in a prison, we’re looking for the key
We don’t understand that the key is you and me
It’s hidden in our hearts, keep reaching for the stars
No-one here is getting out alive
No-one here is getting out alive
No-one here is getting out alive
When you realise that you control the steed
You can change your lifes direction and it’s speed
You can choose your destination and be freed
So keep moving forward, there’s no way to retreat
But we can choose the street, and we can change the beat
Get up, get on, repeat
We’re born in the gutter, we’re born to be enslaved
The odds are against us… stacked against us
But don’t let it stop you, keep pushing at the gates and
When we all push together, we might just take the
Victor’s crown, bring the prison down, tear it to the ground
We’re reaching for the stars
Keep reaching for the stars
