Now sometimes I stop and wonder Why I can't let my self enjoy In this space I'm in All the wonderful places I've been My eyes are on the future But I can't think about my past My aspirations always exceed my grasp You've got to reach, a little bit higher When the light within becomes a fire Hey, hey, ooo ooh, you've got to grow You've got to reach a little bit higher Get a hold on all that you desire Search your soul and you'll never grow old When the habits of a lifetime become a painful cage You want to break out, but you don't know how to change Now you may have a vision You may have a friend Who will come to you, who might come to you And say these same words again You've got to reach, a little bit higher When the light within becomes a fire Hey, hey, ooo ooh, you've got to grow You've got to reach a little bit higher Get a hold on all that you desire Search your soul and you'll never grow old
