Reaching Out

Reaching Out

I am reaching out for your love

a mother’s love, unconditional

but I am invisible

Can’t see me as I am

How could she turn, walk away

and leave me so all alone

out there in the cold?

I am reaching out to you

my higher power in this darkest hour

Won’t you please wash away

these tears I cry?

Take away my fears inside, I hide

I am reaching out for someone

to lend me a helping hand

Throw me a lifeline

before I drown in the despair

Won’t somebody, please, care?

I am reaching out to a world divided

asking for your help to save us from ourselves

So sad to see so many

suffering needlessly

I am reaching out to emptiness

Reaching out to loneliness

Longing for some happiness

I am reaching out to you

my higher power in this darkest hour

Please, wash away my tears I cry

Please, take away these fears inside, I hide
