To Reach Beyond The Stars




To Reach Beyond The Stars



Release thy soul of earthly bonds
And tear stained dreams
To reach beyond the stars
And touch the Milky Way

Leave now this earth
That holds the face
Of tragic scenes
To drift beyond what lived
To be my yesterday

Step beyond the hatch
Of earth's ship thy soul encase
To taste the mist
Of joyous world beyond my own

Majestic peaks of new
Mountain range to embrace
As weightless soul finds peace
Beyond my earthly home



Heaven awaits
This weary traveler from afar
When from dream dost wake
And promises are revealed

So will shine the face ...
The brightest of brightest star
And before the throne of this life
My heart will kneel

To live the dream
To find the freedom of the flight
I sleep but for now
Within what is called my life

Where joys meet tears
And meaning
Sometimes goes unknown
Awaits this life
To awaken as Heaven's own
