Lyrics

SONG: SHOOT FOR THE STARS 
BILLY 
1. 
I'LL SHOOT FOR THE STARS. 5 
I'LL SHOOT FOR THE STARS TODAY. 7 
I KNOW I WON'T HIT THEM 5 
BUT I'LL SHOOT THEM ANYWAY! 7 

TODAY WILL BE ACTS I AND II 8 
MY GREATEST WISH DONE WHEN THEY’RE THROUGH! 8 
I'LL SOAR INTO SPACE 5 
I’LL SOAR PAST SATURN AND MARS 7 

WHO KNOWS WHERE I'LL LAND 5 
WHEN I CAN SHOOT FOR THE STARS? 7 

2. 
I'LL FOLLOW MY HEART. 5 
I'LL FOLLOW MY HEART TODAY. 7 
AIM CUPID'S ARROW 5 
AND MAKE MY LOVE HERE TO STAY. 7 

SOON I’LL POP THE BIGGEST QUESTION 8 
MY HEART SINGS AT THE SUGGESTION! 8 

I'LL RUN TO MY LOVE 5 
AND SOON SHE WILL BE MY OWN 7 
AND THEN EVERY DAY 5 
I WILL NEVER BE ALONE! 7 

3. 
I'LL CLIMB TO THE TOP 5 
I'LL CLIMB TO THE TOP TODAY. 7 
I'LL REACH THE TOP RUNG 5 
AND WON'T GIVE MY SPOT AWAY. 7 

I’LL REACH AND SNAG THAT PROMOTION. 8 
EVERY STEP IS UPWARD MOTION! 8 

I'LL RUN TO MY BOSS 5 
SAY, "I BELIEVE THAT’S MY SEAT." 7 

AND THEN MY WHOLE LIFE 5 
WILL BE FULLY COMPLETE! 5 

CODA 
THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS, 5 
THE INSANE UPWARD MOTION 7 
TRUE FORTUNE AND FAME 5 
AND A FANCY PROMOTION, 7 
YESTERDAY IT WOULD SEEM TOO FAR 8 
BUT NOW IT TURNS OUT…I’M THE STAR! 8 
TO THE STARS! 3
