I
When I was a little girl
I swore that I would change the world
When I grew up
Nothing else would be enough

Back then it all seemed black and white
But these days I just can't seem to find
The child in me
Who always believed

I see it every day - we settle for safe
And lose ourselves along the way

But if you don't dream big - what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out - for something more

It took a well-perfected plan
For me to finally understand
That it's not me
Faith is something I can't see

I loosed the reigns then let 'em go
I broke the chains of fear that had their
Hold on me too long
When all I felt was wrong

I've wiped my tears away - now it's time for a change
No I can't wait another day

Cuz if you don't dream big - what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what's real and make-believe
Here's the path we've all been searching for
So reach out - for something more
Than you ever could imagine
Then move - don't wait for it to happen
Life's too short for not taking chances
The stars aren't as far as they seem

If you don't dream big - what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what's real and make-believe
Here's the path we've all been searching for
So reach out - for something more

[gck86]

your lyrics are wrong for me.i`m a guy.

[AIdol101]

@gck86 So what?! This song was written by a woman... And I took it form American Idol website during the time Emily Shackelton entered. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL LYRICS SHE POSTED ON THE COMPETITION! So those who said its wrong, It's not my fault I just took her lyrics from the entry in American Idol Songwriting Contest. I rest my case!!!

[theastigrocker]

u'r lyrics are wrong..

[AIdol101]

@theastigrocker No I get it from American Idol website during the songwriting contest... Its the right one... Its the lyrics submitted by the songwriter

[KKAITLIN11]

Emily Shakelton used to go to my school! and my english teachers granddaughter is in High School Musical 3...and she was discovered by a modeling agency!! HOW COOL IS THAT?

[AIdol101]

Really, really cool!!!

[aku192]

to say which version is better is completely pointless cuz they're completely different in style. it totally depends on one's taste for music.

[koolkylie11]

[Candlejunkie]

[xSxExsceneskater]

i always wondered who wrote this 

[perezluipio]

this version is so cute... like its from a disney movie.... :D

[dare2dream0728]

bah! I wish David Cook recorded a full version of this song! The original is nice too, but I like David's style a lot more.

[xxFlghterXxx]

I wonder what it'd sound like if Taylor Swift sang this song. Just random thought.
