Reach Out

i’ve felt this way for a while
like time is stealing my smile away
like darkness holds the day

i’m running at a break-neck pace
as it in a race
but what do i stand to win
to cross the line again

i’m too tired to sleep
i need to find peace
is this where my rest begins

when i reach out to you
reach out to you [there i find a hiding place]
reach out to you [there i find a source of strength]
reach out to you

so busy i can barely breathe
temptation seems
to keep me off my knees
yet that is where i want to be

i’m sitting in the shallow end
a pool of good intent
distraction has my feet
it pulls me underneath

now it’s sink or swim
throw the life line in
God show me what i should do

when i reach out to you
reach out to you [ there i find a joy divine]
reach out to you [ there i find a peace of mind]

reach out to you
reach out to you
reach out to you
reach out to you

i have failed and yet
still you give, i get
i remain amazed at that
