Once upon a time in a forest full of green

Lived a lonely caterpillar with a suitcase full of dreams

Birds would soar above him, the deer would just fly by

 and he kept looking upward to the sky Oh, lonely caterpillar said the gentle evening breeze

Open up that suitcase, find out what it means

 

To Reach For A Dream

Reach for a star,

Reach for the brightest thing you are

You'll be amazed by what you can be

Don't be afraid,

Reach For A Dream

 

So he climbed inside his suitcase,

finding wondrous visions there

He was singing with the evening breeze,

dancing in mid air

And the colours all around him were the loveliest he'd seen

As he felt himself become part of the dream

Oh lonely caterpillar, you can follow what you feel

All the wonders that you're finding can be real (can be real)

 

If you Reach For A Dream, (For a dream)

Reach for a star,

Reach for the brightest thing you are (brightest thing you are)

You'll be amazed by what you can be (what you can be)

Don't be afraid,

Reach For A Dream

 

He finally came out for all the world to see

On wings all lace with gold and ebony

Butterfly, butterfly, you can catch a butterfly

If you find him first before he hears the evening breeze

 

Whisper Reach For A Dream, (For a dream)

reach for a star, reach for the brightest thing you are (brightest thing you are)

You'll be amazed by what you can be (what you can be)

Don't be afraid,

Reach For A Dream
