Reaching Out
by Michael W. Smith

Album: Songs For Life - RICA

Sometimes the unexplainable is just too much to bear
When human lives are sacrificed, we're all caught unprepared
Still echoes of humanity ring true in times like this
A child runs on the pavement, peace is all it says

Why's this world so hard to understand?
Still we go on with our lives as best we can

As one we sing, our voices ring
Through valleys deep and mountains high
We share the dream, we still believe
We are reaching out, yes we're reaching out
We are reaching out to the world

At times I feel so vulnerable like I've never felt before
Do you accept me for the way I am, or do we crash or do we soar?
When you stumble I will lend a hand, if I falter you'll be there
Oh how can there be battle lines when we're breathing the same air?

There's more to life than we can see or touch
Beneath the skin, we're brothers, all of us
