I Want To Reach

I Want To Reach

I want to reach for success, to be the

Best that I can be, it seems to me

That it’s just a dream, wishful thoughts

Of crimson fire, burning the desire into

My heart, from the mire I will rise

To start a nobler life, a happy one

An existence of love, of joy, of fun

A world where no one wishes waste and war

A society in serenity, a lesson from adversity

To proclaim diversity, with aims to be free

I want to reach out and have arms

To take me in, to wake up in love, with

A girl sent from above, I’ll be a gentleman for her

Bliss is her kiss, the word lips formed that changed my world

To be the one who isn’t blamed for everything

I don’t want to be the one who lives in pain,

In hate, with a fate shamed in vain, that’s not what I want.

I want to reach for all

Things good, plant a forest that goes growing to the sky

So I can shout it, show you my love when she comes

I want to reach and not pull back empty
