lyrics
They say to reach for the stars
But the stars are so very far
Oh, I reach for my cabinet shelves
Down come some broken plates
But not much else.
Oh, I hear, oh I hear those bells ring
Oh, they ring up where the birds sing
Are they joyful or mournfully sad
Oh do they have purpose or just beauty to have?
Oh, they say to reach for the stars
So I reach for my toes which are still too far
Oh I give a great big ol' stretch on my way
Then I reach for my guitar as I call it a day.
Oh I reach
Oh I reach
Oh I reach
Oh I reach
