REACHING FOR THE SUN

REACHING FOR THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2019

WHAT IMAGINARY LINES

HAVE I CROSSED

I MAY HAVE MISSED A FEW

AND SOME THAT I COULD SEE

THAT WERE BIGGER THAN ME

TOGETHER OR APART

I GAVE IT MY ALL

PUT IN ALL MY HEART

DAYS IN BLUE

ALL LEFT BEHIND

TRADED THEM ALL

FOR A DIFFERENT KIND

KISSED BY

 THE COLD WINDS OF TIME

SPIRITS WANDERING

RESTLESS JUST LIKE MINE

 I REMEMBER

 REACHING FOR THE SUN

FROM THE COLD DARK LIGHT

DEEP IN THE SHADOWS

OF INSECURITY

I WON'T SAY I WILL

I'M SAYING THAT I MIGHT

PUT MY TRUST IN

 SOMETHING NEW

AND SURE ENOUGH

I WALKED RIGHT THROUGH

I WAS FREE TO GO

WOKE MY WANDERLUST 

I WAS GONE

DEEP INTO THE WORLD

SWALLOWED BY THE SCENERY

ROMANCING PLACES FARAWAY

REACHING FOR THE SUN

 WEARING OUT MY SHOES

THE STARS SAW ME OFF 

THE MOONLIGHT

HELPED ME FIND MY WAY

NICE TO MEET YOU

BUT I CAN'T STAY

I'M ON THAT ROAD

THAT NEVER ENDS

JUST ANOTHER LINE

ONE OF MANY

 I HAVE CROSSED

SOME THAT JUST

GOT ME LOST

SOMEDAY I'LL FIND

A PLACE WHERE I CAN STAY

BUT JUST FOR NOW

THE ROAD IS MY HOME

EVERY SUNRISE 

TO EVERY SUNSET IS MINE

JUST ONE LOOK

AND I'LL BE FINE

A LITTLE PEACE INSIDE

TO CALM MY SOUL

DAYS FLY BY

WHERE DO THEY GO

THIS SIDE THAT SIDE

OF THE LINE

I'M ON MY WAY

I'M JUST WAITING FOR A SIGN

REACHING FOR THE SUN

ONE MORE TIME
