Reaching For You
(J. Schwarz, J. Welch and M. Blythe)

Reaching out to your hand, help me please to understand
Lift me high above the clouds that drift to the heavens
Won’t you please, please lift me?

Are you listening? Do you hear my prayers?
When I’m speaking, can you hear despair?
Stepping closer to the edge
And one step older in time
Will you help me, if I go astray?
Or turn a blind eye, would you turn me away?

Reaching for you…can ease the pain
Ease the fear…we might drown in the rain
Reaching for you…brings us closer to hope
One step closer to reaching for you…

Are you out there, do you know my fear?
When I’m sleeping, are you staying near?
Stepping closer to the edge
And one step older in time

Reaching for you…we won’t feel alone
By my side…never left on our own
Reaching for you…guards our nights
Fights the dark…by brightening the lights
Reaching for you…can ease the pain
Ease the fear…that we might drown in the rain
Reaching for you…brings us closer to hope
One step closer to reaching for you…
