Stretch Arm Strong Lyrics
"Reach Out"

Reach out!
Like a mountain I can't climb
Like a river I can't cross
I beat my head against the wall
The obstacles before me are so tall
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach out
I'm trying to reach out
Wanting to be you—Will I measure up?
What am I supposed to do?
I've never felt this way
These are my darkest days
I feel so far away! Away!
A life of perfection, the constant reflection of what I'll never be
Smothered by your love, safe in your embrace
Unending devotion, the memory of your face
Now I know—now I know me
So I'm reaching out and I'm holding on
and I'm trying things that I had left behind
Reach out.
