Lyrics

[Intro]

Closer to my dreams

[Verse 1]

It's coming over me

I'm gettin' higher

Closer to my dreams

I'm getting higher and higher

Feel it in my sleep

[Verse 2]

Sometimes it feels like I'll never go past here

Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever

[Verse 3]

But, I'm going higher

Closer to my dreams

I'm goin' higher and higher

I can almost reach

[Verse 4]

Sometimes you just have to let it go

Let it go, let it go

Leaving all my fears to burn down

Push them all away so I can move on

Closer to my dreams

Feel it all over my being

Close your eyes and see what you believe

[Verse 5]

I'm moving higher (Higher)

Oh

I'm going higher and higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh)

I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see (Stretching out my arms so I can reach)

[Verse 6]

Feels so close, it's like I can just reach

I can feel my dreams (Closer to my dreams)

I'm moving closer to my dreams

[Outro]

Sometimes it feels like

You never gon' change

Never gon' change

But you never choose to walk away
