• Reaching

There's a time I can recall,
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar -
Both were out of reach.
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 reach.
Well 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 anything.
But still it seems a tragic fate
Living with this quiet ache
The constant strain for what remains
Just out of reach.

We 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.

There 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 teacher would teach.
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 believed.
I guess I shouldn't think it odd
Until 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 reached.

We 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 for.

There's a time I can recall,
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar -
Both were out of reach.
