I stare out my window, alone
    You can’t see much in the Venus sky
    And sometimes I wonder why I even try
    To glimpse the stars, between the clouds

    I see them sparkle briefly
    And I reach for them
    Just barely falling short

    Surrounded by people, but still alone
    Alone in the crowd one afternoon
    I look up and see the sun peek through
    Between the clouds
    I see it shine briefly
    And I reach for it
    Just barely falling short once more

    I make my way home, ever more alone
    In the darkness of the night
    But what’s that strange light?
    I see the fake moon, between the clouds

    I see it glow briefly
    And foolishly I reach for it
    Knowing I’ll fall short

    I shouldn’t give up, even when I’m alone
    Even though it’s hard and lonely
    In the end there’ll be someone to hold me
    And we’ll reach together, even though we may fail

    I won’t settle for the clouds
