Reaching Higher

[Verse 1] Every ladder I climb turns to dust in my hands Every door that I reach has a lock I can’t understand I stretch for the light but it slips through the cracks Always one step behind, always looking back Am I chasing a dream that was never made for me? Or is the ceiling just lower than I was told it would be? [Chorus] I’m reaching higher But the world keeps pulling me down I’m reaching higher But the burden won’t let me leave the ground I’m reaching higher And the weight just multiplies I’m reaching higher While the sky keeps closing its eyes [Verse 2] Who wrote the rules to keep the summit so far? Who decided the stars were never meant for these scars? Born with the hunger, raised with the doubt Told to keep dreaming while it shuts the exits out Are we doomed from the first breath, programmed to fall? Or do we refuse to believe we can break through this wall? [Chorus] I’m reaching higher But the world keeps pulling me down I’m reaching higher But the burden won’t let me leave the ground I’m reaching higher And the weight just multiplies I’m reaching higher While the sky keeps closing its eyes [Bridge] Is there nothing more than this endless loop of maybe? Hands full of almost, heart full of never Do I lower the bar or keep yearning for the sky? Who gets to decide if I’m worthy to try? If the cycle is sealed and the climb is a lie… Then tell me why this fire still refuses to die...... [Final Outro] I’m reaching higher… (Still reaching higher…) But nothing ever seems to change Will the day ever come when the pull finally breaks? Or is this all there is— Just the stretch, just the strain, Just the same old drag... Calling my name again and again? I’m reaching higher… And I’m still not sure If anything will get better Or calm this desire... © Chrome Station 2026 All Rights Reserved
