Reaching for the Stars Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Add Alaska and Hawaii
Make the total half a hundred
Half a hundred States United
Joined together as one body

Arms that reach across the northland
To the far off state Alaska
Arms that reach across the water
To the far off state Hawaii


Arms of some two hundred million
Thanking God for having brought us
Safely thus far in our journey
We′re reaching for the stars that beckon
Reaching for the stars that call us

And we answer back still louder
By the power of God that brought us
We are reaching, we are reaching
Reaching for the stars tomorrow
