Closer to my dream Running over me I'm getting higher Closer to my dream I'm getting higher and higher Feel it in my sleep Sometimes it feels like I'll never grow past it Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck forever, ever But I'm going higher Closer to my dream I'm going higher and higher I can almost reach Summertime view just have to let it go Let it go, let go Believing all my fears to burn down Push them all away so I move on Closer to my dreams Feel it all over I'm not pain Close your eyes and seek what you're feeling Moving higher, higher I'm going higher and higher and higher Listen to your mind Higher and higher I'm moving upward and onward And beyond all that I can see Stretching out my arms and I can reach Oh so close, it's right there Just reach, I can feel my dream Closer to my dreams I'm moving closer to my dreams Sometimes it feels like you'll never grow and change Never grow and change But you never choose to walk alone
