music and original French lyric by Gérard Freling, English lyric by Rick Paul

Drifting back in time
Through the pages of my mind
Fires that would burn and fade away
Hopes I held so tight
Prayers I prayed with all my might
Feel forever lost to yesterday

Late, it’s much too late
To take that leap of faith
I’ve told myself too many times
Now, now I can see
While I can breathe
While I’m still standing
Now’s the time to raise my wings
Just watch me fly

I’m reaching for the stars tonight
Hands stretched to the sky
Following dreams toward destiny
Reaching for the stars tonight
Following the guiding light
That leads me to who I am meant to be

Looking in the mirror
Saw a man bound up by fear
Longing to break out and be free
Heard a gentle voice
Say it’s time to make a choice
Find your path and follow where it leads

Late, it’s much too late
To take that leap of faith
I told myself too many times
Now, now I can see
While I can breathe
While I’m still standing
Now’s the time to raise my wings
Just watch me fly

I’m reaching for the stars tonight
Hands stretched to the sky
Following dreams toward destiny
Reaching for the stars tonight
Following the guiding light
That leads me to who I am meant to be
