Reach For A Dream

[Verse 1: Gene Anthony Ray]
Once upon a time in a forest full of green
Lived a lonely caterpillar with a suitcase full of dreams
Birds would soar above him, the deer would just fly by
The trees kept looking upward to the sky
"Oh, lonely caterpillar," sang a gentle evening breeze
"Open up that suitcase, find out what it means"

[Chorus: Gene Anthony Ray]
To reach for a dream
Reach for a star
Reach for the brightest thing you are
You'd be amazed by what you can be
Don't be afraid, reach for a dream

[Verse 2: Erica Gimpel]
So he climbed inside his suitcase
Finding wondrous visions there
Hе was singing with the evening breezе, dancing in midair
And the colors all around him were the loveliest he'd seen
As he felt himself become part of the dream
Oh, lonely caterpillar, you can follow what you feel
All the the wonders that you're finding can be real (Can be real)

[Chorus: Erica Gimpel]
If you reach for a dream (For a dream)
Reach for a star
Reach for the brightest thing you are (The brightest thing you are)
You'll be amazed by what you can be
(What you can be, what you can be)
Don't be afraid, reach for a dream

[Bridge: Erica Gimpel]
He finally came out for all the world to see
On wings all laced with gold and ebony
Butterfly, butterfly, you can catch a butterfly
If you find him first before he hears the evening breeze
(Hears the evening breeze)

[Chorus: Erica Gimpel]
Whisper, "Reach for a dream" (For a dream)
Reach for a star
Reach for the brightest thing you are (The brightest thing you are)
You'll be amazed by what you can be
(What you can be, what you can be, what you can be)
Don't be afraid, reach for a dream
