I Want To Reach The Clouds



Clouds



I want to reach the clouds
Break the gravity of life
Climb to the highest star
Without once feeling the fright

Taking all the doubts and fears
Locking them into a cage
With bars that can never be broken
Take the leap completely of faith

I want to reach the clouds
Make it through the strongest of storms
As the lightning and thunder rage
A new cloud above starts to form

With all my might I take the leap
Hoping the edge doesn’t give way
So I may pull myself higher
To stand on a surface that wont break

I want to reach the clouds
Even when they seem to vaporize
Feeling like an anchor in the deepest sea
Falling through as they can’t hold my weight of life

Will I land softly on a cloud below
Or pass through them all
Will I hit bottom with all the force
Having to once again crawl

I want to reach the highest cloud
The one I see in my dreams
Like an old movie you watch time and again
Where you know every scene

I want to reach that first star
Holding the door I seek
Reaching where I truly belong
Where my heart mind and soul are at peace

Will I ever reach it
How will I know it’s even real
Maybe it’s something I ‘m not meant to know
No matter how wonderful it feels

I want to reach the clouds
