Amanda Lee Peers - Staring at the Stars (feat. Alphonso Williams) Lyrics

Ooh
Ooh

Staring up at the sky
I could spend all my life
Searching for a way to fly high up like the stars
Looking down from where they are

I wish I was an astronaut
I'd fly above the chimney tops
And wave at all the people
That thought I'd never make it far

But I ain't got no time for wishing
Got to focus on my mission
All systems go ignition
Now I know it won't be long, until I prove them wrong

'Cause all I have to guide me
Is the feeling that's inside me
With the sun on the horizon
Shining its light for me, and that's all I need

Yeah

I been staring at the stars
Hoping my dreams take me far
Been searching all my life
And I never wanted something so more

And I say a little prayer
For someone out there to hear
Been searching all my life
And I never wanted something so more

Ooh
Ooh

Lately I've been feeling like
There ain't no land in sight
I'm lost at sea, losing light, fighting to survive
The storms inside my mind

Sinking and surrounded by
Sharks and monsters of the night
I'm drowning in this ocean
And I can't swim to save my life

Then I look up in the sky
The stars are shining bright
And I find the strength to fight
'Cause I know that this ain't my time, to say goodbye

'Cause this life is all I got
There ain't no way I'm giving up
I'm spending every second, every day
Giving every part of me, and I won't stop

No, no, no

I been staring at the stars
Hoping my dreams take me far
Been searching all my life
And I never wanted something so more

And I say a little prayer
For someone out there to hear
Been searching all my life
And I never, never wanted it more

I been staring at the stars
Hoping my dreams take me far
Been searching all my life
And I never wanted something so more

And I say a little prayer
For someone out there to hear
Been searching all my life
And I been searching

I been staring at the stars
Hoping my dreams take me far
