Lyrics
thumb|300px|right|Orchestrated version
 * Take off, at the speed of sound
 * Bright lights, colors all around
 * I'm running wild, living fast, and free
 * Got no regrets inside of me
 * Not looking back
 * Not giving up
 * Not letting go
 * I'll keep on running!


 * I'm gonna reach for the stars
 * Although they look pretty far
 * I'm gonna find my own way
 * And take a chance on today 


 * The sky with stars so bright
 * The colors feel so right
 * I never felt like this
 * I'll keep on running!


 * The sky with stars so bright
 * The colors feel so right
 * Just take my hand
 * We're gonna reach for the stars
 * Tonight...


 * Tonight....


 * Wake up, living day by day.
 * Do what I want, and I'll do it my way
 * The world is flying right below my feet
 * Got no regrets inside of me.
 * Not looking back (Not looking back)
 * Not giving up (Not giving up)
 * Not letting go
 * I'll keep on running!


 * I'm gonna reach for the stars
 * Although they look pretty far
 * I'm gonna find my own way
 * And take a chance on today


 * The sky with stars so bright
 * The colors feel so right
 * I never felt like this
 * I'll keep on running!


 * The sky with stars so bright
 * The colors feel so right
 * Just take my hand
 * We're gonna reach for the stars
 * Tonight...
 * Tonight....


 * I've got it in my sight.
 * The colors feels so right.
 * Got my feet off the ground 
 * I'll keep on running! 






 * Oh, I can feel it now.
 * The colors all around
 * Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars... 


 * Just take a chance (Just take a chance)
 * We'll do it right again
 * (I'm gonna reach for the stars)


 * Just take my hand (Just take my hand)
 * We'll take a chance tonight...
 * Reach for the stars... 
 * Tonight!




 * Tonight...
