[G] [F] [C]
[G] [Dm] [C] Reaching for the Sky opens the show.
This show really made [G] [E] a place for that song
because it truly is, it's like a lullaby almost.
[Dm] This [N] is the story of aspiration, at the core.
Well, it introduces a character.
It says, there's a boy I used to know.
He was always searching high and low.
It talks about this dream, this goal,
and a character, a person, in some form or another, us,
pursuing this dream that is maybe
a little bit outside of the norm,
but is already saying to himself,
no, I have to choose this.
I have to choose the exciting dream
because I have to know whether or not I can do it.
I have to at least try.
Well, and the songs, Reaching for the Sky
is a great example of songs that really are,
they're truly at their height in this show
because you couldn't capture the power of a song like that
without putting the contrast of here's a vocal
and here's a piano with this grandness of the symphony
both next to each other.
Your regular record, maybe you do a little string date.
Maybe you have a few people play some string parts,
but now the song is really [F] brought to [C] life
by the fact that it's that huge contrast.
[D] You said [G] I am [E] reaching [Am] for the sky.
[F] Cause I have to [C] know how high it [G] [C] goes.
[G] [D] While [G] others [E] they won't [Am] even try.
[Dm]
I'll be [C] reaching for the sky.
[G] [Dm] [C]
If we're looking for the Hansen parable in a nutshell,
it's he never gave up power to the sound of fear
or the twist of fate.
I mean, that's the story.
The funny thing about all of string theory is really,
I think the whole story is encapsulated
in reaching for the sky, part one and part two.
If you just looked at what's in that song,
you would basically understand the whole story
[G] of all 23 songs, all the [C] whole double album,
but a good story [G] tells you what you're gonna [C] experience.
And then I think takes you through it.
[F] But he never gave up [C] power [Am] to the [G] sound of [C] fear
or [F] twist of fate.
Didn't [G] care how long [Am] it took.
I'll [F] still be reaching on [G] my dying [D] [G] day.
[E] [Am]
[C]
[D] Cause [G] I can [E] tell my [Am] heart won't try.
[F] I'll keep [C] reaching for [F] the sky.
I am [C] reaching for the sky.
