Diana Degarmo - 'Reaching For Heaven'

This tune and lyrics of this song just captured my heart when I watched the VCD titled 'Ice Princess' by Walt Disney Production. The storyline is about an average school girl who is whiz at Physics, being offered a scholarship by Harvard, but she turned it down to pursue her own dream as a professional ice skating athlete.

That's the amazing thing about Walt Disney movies - They always have this theme that gives hope to the viewers! Other movies just add thrill, scare, gore, comedy or action... but Walt Disney shows appeal to the vast majority! Unless, with the possible exception of those with too abstract mind. But that's what I like about Walt Disney movies... coz it gives me hope and inspires me to want to see things differently from what we normally see as an average person.

Reaching For Heaven - by Diana Degarmo

All my life
There was just me and my dreams
And the days went ticking by
Like the beat of my heart

Spend my nights
Wondering how it would feel
When the waiting would end
And tomorrow would start

Suddenly I see a light
Out of the darkness I'm coming alive

Chorus
This how it feels reaching for heaven
Is this how it feels kissing the sky
This what it means touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reaching for heaven

All this time
I never knew I was so strong
But you made me find the fire
That was there all along

In your eyes
I can see all I can be
Suddenly I want it all
I know you'll catch me whenever I fall

Bridge
You alone have shown me
Shining new horizons
Now for all I owe you
It's my turn to show you

[Repeat Chorus]

Reaching for heaven
This how it feels kissing the sky
Is this what it means touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reaching for heaven
Reaching for heaven
Heaven
