Lyrics
REACHING FOR YOUR HAND
VERSE 1 I could fly out toward a distant galaxy,
Skim between the stars and planets passing me,
But when that endless beauty brings a tinge of fear,
I'll want to know that you are near;
CHORUS Reaching for your hand,
Needing to hold on;
When I'm lost without horizons
And the ground I knew is gone,
In that vast uncharted land,
Love will have to be the plan;
I'll be reaching for your hand.
VERSE 2 The future lies before me like an open sea;
I must sail toward harbors still unknown to me;
Storms will shake my heart and make my compass spin
Till I feel your touch again;
Chorus Reaching for your hand,
Needing to hold on;
When I'm lost without horizons
And the ground I knew is gone,
In that vast uncharted land,
Love will have to be the plan;
I'll be reaching for your hand.
BRIDGE All we need to know and be reminded of
Is the strategy of love.
Repeat CHORUS
