All my life
There was just me and my dreams
And the days went tickin' by
Like the beat of my heart

Spend my nights
Wonderin' how it would feel
When the waiting would end
And tomorrow would start
Suddenly I see the light
Out of the darkness I'm comin' alive

So this is how it feels
Reachin' for heaven
This is how it feels
Kissin' the sky
This is what it means
Touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reachin' for heaven

All this time
I never knew I was so strong
But you made me find the fire
That was there all along
In your eyes
I can see all I can be
Suddenly I want it all
And I know you'll catch me if ever I fall

So this is how it feels
Reachin' for heaven
And this is how it feels
Kissin' the sky
This is what it means
Touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reachin' for heaven

You alone have shown me
Shining new horizons
Now for all I owe you
It's my turn to show you

This is how it feels
Reachin' for heaven
And this is how it feels
Kissin' the sky
This is what it means
Touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reachin' for heaven
Reachin' for heaven

This is how it feels
Kissin' the sky
This is what it means
Touching forever
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I'm reachin' for heaven
Reachin' for heaven
Heaven
