  • When I was young I was invincible
    I found myself not thinking twice
    I never thought about no future
    It's just the roll of the dice

    But the day may come when you've got something to lose
    And just when you think you're done paying dues
    And you say to yourself, "Dear God, what have I done?"
    And hope it's not too late because tomorrow may never come

    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come

    Yesterday is history
    And tomorrow's a mystery
    But being here right now
    It's just about you and me

    You can run, you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde
    Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die
    And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
    And hold you tight 'cause tomorrow may never come

    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come

    So if you please, take this moment
    Try if you can to make it last
    Don't think about the future
    And just forget about the past
    And make it last

    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come Writer/s: Michael James Ness

  • Tim from Detroit, Mibeing a vet, this song was on my ipod non stop in iraq & afghan, to me it's about joining young not caring about anything, starting a family in the military, with a wifey and kids, then deploying. when you're in the sandbox yesterday dont matter, and tomorrows a mystery. that's why songs are great, you interpret them to your life. semper fi mac
