Carolyn Arends - Reaching Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • There's a time I can recall
  • Four years old and three feet tall
  • Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
  • And both were out of reach
  • And later on in my high school
  • It seemed to me a little cruel
  • How the right words to say always seemed to stay
  • Just out of reach
  • Well I should not have thought it strange
  • That growing causes growing pains
  • 'Cause the more we learn the more we know
  • We don't know anything
  • But still it seems a tragic fate
  • Living with this quiet ache
  • The constant strain for what remains
  • Just out of reach
  • Chorus
  • We are reaching for the future
  • We are reaching for the past
  • And no matter what we have we reach for more
  • We are desperate to discover
  • What is just beyond our grasp
  • But maybe that's what heaven is for
  • There are times I can't forget
  • Dressed up in my Sunday best
  • Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn
  • A bit of what the preacher preached
  • And later lying in the dark
  • I felt a stirring in my heart
  • And though I longed to see what could not be seen
  • I still believed
  • I guess I shouldn't think it odd
  • Until we see the face of God
  • The yearning deep within us tells us
  • There's more to come
  • So when we taste of the divine
  • It leaves us hungry every time
  • For one more taste of what awaits
  • When heaven's gates are reached
  • Repeat Chorus
  • I believe that's what heaven is for
  • There's a time I can recall
  • Four years old and three feet tall
  • Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
  • And both were out of reach
