Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
[Verse 2]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
[Verse 3]
When the sun sets, the moon shines
Her Instagram pics stop time
Mascara runnin' down her eyes
And she keep the payment shy
And while she lookin' at her stomach in the mirror
She ain't like the way she look so
She got a tummy tuck for the summer
And as ironical, moronical, we all wanted a piece of her
She used to roam the block
And I'd do anything to get to her
'Cause hip-hop got the toll on me
Still one time killing me softly
But welcome to the school where everybody keep a saw though
And dude took his own life
He didn't wanna get bullied no more
Young world, you gotta be strong
Just when you wanna give up
That's when a star is born
[Verse 4]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
[Verse 5]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
[Verse 6]
My brothers was the greatest debaters
They used to debate philosophy
Ever since Obama won we been having a tea party
And now Mr. Jackson found where my daughter's
Singing her ABCs
And now I'm sippin' wine in the house thinking of Remy
Teenage love, look at them hold hands
They're from the school of rock
Battle of the bands
So if you ever down, listen to this song
You don't want 'em singing about a star is born
[Verse 7]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
[Verse 8]
Reach for the stars
First you got to have a vision
Reach for the highest
If you could see it, you could be it
And I know you can get there
One day yeah
One day yeah
(Reach for the stars)
[Verse 9]
I, I know oh oh
Oh, I, I know
I know oh oh
Oh, I, I know
(Reach for the stars)
I know oh oh
I know oh oh
(Reach for the stars)
I know
I know oh oh
I know oh oh oh
