Lyrics

Reach out your hands to the clouds
Cast away
'Cause there's light in your soul
And it's fraught with possibilities

There always comes some times
When everything is down
And it seems hard to find
Of the path to get a place of hope
When whether dreams come true comes reality 
So

Keep your head up and try to harbor a spirit
Right and you'll get a place up in the sky
And fly high

So reach out to the clouds
Try to cast wear aside
Trust your heart and your soul
See the day that it's coming through
