I try and I try
I see the stars
A golden chandelier
Something to wish upon
I reach and I reach
To the stars
A timeless beacon
But I never can
I never will

And try as I might
And might as I try
Some things will forever
Elude me

I try and I try
To be timeless
A rising moon
In sudden darkness
I reach and I reach
For that stage in the sky
Where the downtrodden
Understand the angels

Still try as I might
And keeping the fight
There are always forces
I cannot control

I try and I try
I long for without desire
I burn without fire
My heart beats a rhythm
But all the stars
And all the moons
And all the heavenly stages
Are all I cannot reach

I just want something
I can never have
Try as I might
And night after night

I cannot reach
