Lyrics Of Reaching by Carolyn Arends
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 reachAnd 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 reachWell, 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 anythingBut still it seems a tragic fate
Living with this quiet ache The constant strain for what remains Just out of reachWe 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 forThere 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 preachedAnd 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 believedI guess, I shouldn’t think it oddUntil 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 reachedWe 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 I believe that’s what Heaven is forThere’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
