Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There may come times in your life when things don't seem to go so right
Don't worry, the sun is gonna shine
One day
People all over the world, lift your heads up high
And keep on tryin'
It's gonna be alright
Some day
[Verse 2]
The stars will shine on you
If you just believe in what you do
[Verse 3]
You got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
You've got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
Never giving up (Reachin', reachin')
You've got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Sometimes you want to call it quits and then you say that this is it
Keep pressing 'cause your time will come
One day
Sometimes when you're down and there's no one else around
I hear you crying, there will be no more tears
Some day
[Verse 5]
Just believe in what you do and your dreams will come true
Oh yeah
[Verse 6]
But you got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
You've got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
Never giving up (Reachin', reachin')
You've got to keep on (Reachin', reachin')
Oh yeah
[Verse 7]
Love is love and life is life
The goodness and the bad that we once all shared
But don't give up, leave it all behind
Keep on reaching for higher grounds
Never looking back, always keeping on
Forward, stronger, forever and ever
Keep on reaching
You've got to keep on reaching
[Verse 8]
Oh, sometimes when you're down and there's no one else around
I hear you crying, there will be no more tears
One day
[Verse 9]
You got to keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on reachin' (Reachin')
Never giving up (Reachin', reachin')
No, no, no, no, no-whoa (Reachin', reachin')
I'm gonna keep on reachin' (Reachin', reachin')
I'm gonna keep on reachin'
Oh yeah
[Verse 10]
(Reachin')
When love has let you down and there's no one around
Keep on reachin', keep on reachin'
The burn of the star, the brighter you will go
Reach on, reach on, reach on, reach on, yeah
[Verse 11]
When momma has to go and papa's not at home
Keep on reachin', keep on reachin'
Never giving up, no, no, no
Keep on reachin', keep on reachin'
[Verse 12]
Believe in what you do and your dreams will come true
Just keep on reachin' for higher grounds
Don't stop, don't stop, don't you stop
Blacks and whites, keep on reachin'
For love and peace and unity of everyone
I'm gonna keep on, you gonna keep on
Keep on reachin', keep on reachin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, never stopping
You got to keep on
You got to keep on
Never giving up
I'm gonna keep on reachin'
You've got to keep on reachin'
Oh, yeah
