lyrics

To Touch A Star
©1995 by Steve Macdonald

I look into your eyes and wonder
If you see the sky and wonder
If you'll ever get that far
To reach up, and touch a star.

All you need to go is a dream
It's not quite as hard as it seems.
Never lose what you are
To reach out, and touch a star.

Shuttle flights
Bright lit nights
All started with a dream.
Radio
These songs I know
They all started with a dream.

God's greatest gift that I know
Is to imagine, and make so.
I'll help you step up to that bar
To reach out, and touch a star

Space stations high
Planes that fly
All started with a dream.
TV shows
Cars that go
They all started with a dream.

I look into your eyes and I wonder
If you see the sky in wonder
Never lose who you are
To reach out, and claim that star

Shuttle flights
Bright lit nights
All started with a dream.
Space stations high
Planes that fly
All started with a dream.
TV shows
Cars that go
Radio
These songs I know
They all started with a dream.
Dream on.
