Lyrics

Aiming High

[Verse 1]

Getting in the heat

Coming with the beat

And I love what I feel

Hard and heavy

And I'm moving on and on

'Cause my life is on the run

Now I feel the need to cry

Oh yeah, I'm aiming high

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Longing all my life

Waiting for a friend

Who is fighting like I do

Likes to do it hard and heavy

It's a man's, man's world

Filled with love and pain

And he never gets enough

And that keeps him very tough

[Chorus]

Aiming high

Aiming high

And I'm waiting for relieve

To the best of my believe

Aiming high

Aiming high

What a fight to get it right

For a minute of delight

[Verse 3]

Falling in the deep

Dreaming in my sleep

How it burns to be cruel

Hard and heavy

I feel lower more and more

'Cause I won't do it anymore

And I feel the need to cry

Oh yeah, I'm aiming high

[Chorus]

Aiming high

Aiming high

And I'm waiting for relieve

To the best of my believe

Aiming high

Aiming high

What a fight to get it right

For a minute of delight

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

Aiming high indeed

Seeking for my need

That is my sense of touch

Hard and heavy, way too much

[Chorus]

Aiming high

Aiming high

And I'm waiting for relieve

To the best of my believe

Aiming high

Aiming high

What a fight to get it right

For a minute of delight

Aiming high

Aiming high

And I'm waiting for relieve

To the best of my believe

Aiming high

Aiming high

What a fight to get it right

For a minute of delight

Aiming high

Aiming high

Aiming high

Aiming high

Aiming high

What a fight to get it right

For a minute of delight

Aiming high

Aiming high

Aiming high…
