Trying for the Sky



Do I obsess?
Yes I guess I do
But nothing less
Than my best for you
Makes the madness
Maybe not so bad

Takes the sadness
Out of what I had
Been wondering
Taking out the sting
Of my being
By making it sing

Doing this thing
I do gets me through
The sadness when
Through the madness then
Lets me come true
Glad to be again

Now to say yes
To how it turned out
Lest I forget
Somehow this is it
Say how about
I stay for the rest

Doing my best
For the rest of me
The best of me
Becoming just so
Just so you know
Me becomingly

Out of my mind
I leave this behind
Seen and unseen
In the in between
For you to find
Who know what I mean

Yes I obsess
For the rest to try
My best or die
Trying for the sky
But nothing less
Than for love is why
