Lyrics
Verse 1
In a desert burnin?, a flower will grow
one tiny drop of water and the roots will look for more
If your body is frail can your spirit be strong?
Strugglin? half way round the world
while I pretend there?s nothing wrong?
Prechorus
Cuz? I?ve never dared to change the way things are
my eyes have been closed
If I could make one wish come true
I?d ask for the strength to follow through, and
Chorus 1
Reach through the T.V. screen, reach for your humanity
Find a way to share the things that we both need
I don?t know if God keeps score
I don?t know why some are born with more
But if I I can?t help somebody, make a wish real
What am I here for? What am I here for?
Verse 2
There?s a message in your eyes, it whispers through the night
When you strip this life down, love is all you take with you
May not have much of a voice, but I have a choice
To see you suffering everyday or see what I can do
Prechorus
No more excuses, I refuse to keep my heart
From making one wish come true
I?ve got to stand up and follow through and
Chorus 2
Reach through the T.V. screen, reach for your humanity
Find a way to share the things that we both need
I don?t know if God keeps score
I don?t know why some are born with more
But if I can?t help somebody, make a wish real
what am I here for?
Beat Poetry
I can see your dreams through your precious eyes
It?s almost as if you were destined to touch lives
because I can feel you, wish that I could heal you
but instead, let me make a deal with you, make a wish real to you
Those small hands clenched in fists, fighting for life
I?m gonna fight for what?s right
Cuz? I can?t watch you live a life of despair
when I care so much about you
So much about someone I never knew
I know that your body may be hindered
but your mind was destined to explore
And if I can?t make just one wish come true
then what am I here for?
Closing Chorus
Reach through the T.V. screen, reach for your humanity
Find a way to share the things that we both need
I don?t know if God keeps score
I don?t know why some are born with more
But if I can?t help somebody, if I can?t help somebody
if I can?t help somebody make a Wish real
What am I here for? Oh yeah
What am I here for? Oh yeah
What am I here for? Oh yeah
What am I here for?
I?m here to help somebody, make a wish real, wanna make it yours
