Where are we going?

I had my head in the right place
My feet flat on the floor
I always knew what I wanted
But I always want more

I try so hard to live up to your standards
But I never got where I wanted
I will never see the view
from where I want to be
I want to see the world from the top
But I feel as if I will never be so high

The sky is the limit
The world is in my reach
You taught me so much
But left me so weak

It's cold and cruel
But I will not fall
I will show you all
I'm going to get there
I'm going to soar

But I still have to find out what is left in store.
