Reaching - Carolyn Arends[00:00:00]
Written by:Carolyn Arends[00:00:01]
There's a time I can recall[00:00:09]
Four years old and three feet tall[00:00:12]
Telling to the stars and the cookie jar[00:00:16]
And both were out of reach[00:00:20]
And later on in my high school[00:00:23]
It seemed to me a little cruel[00:00:27]
How the right words to say always seemed to stay[00:00:30]
Just out of reach[00:00:35]
Well I should not have thought it strange[00:00:38]
That growing causes growing pains[00:00:41]
'Cause the more we learn the more we know[00:00:45]
We don't know anything[00:00:49]
But still it seems a tragic fate[00:00:52]
Living with this quiet ache[00:00:56]
The constant strain for what remains[00:01:00]
Just out of reach[00:01:04]
We are reaching for the future[00:01:09]
We are reaching for the past[00:01:12]
And no matter what we have we reach for more[00:01:16]
We are desperate to discover[00:01:23]
What is just beyond our grasp[00:01:27]
But maybe that's what heaven is for[00:01:31]
There are times I can't forget[00:02:05]
Dressed up in my sunday best[00:02:08]
Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn[00:02:12]
A bit of what the preacher preached[00:02:16]
And later lying in the dark[00:02:19]
I felt a stirring in my heart[00:02:23]
And though I longed to see what could not be seen[00:02:26]
I still believed[00:02:31]
I guess I shouldn't think it odd[00:02:34]
Until we see the face of God[00:02:37]
The yearning deep within us tells us[00:02:41]
There's more to come[00:02:45]
So when we taste of the divine[00:02:49]
It leaves us hungry every time[00:02:52]
For one more taste of what awaits[00:02:56]
When heaven's gates are reached[00:03:00]
We are reaching for the future[00:03:05]
We are reaching for the past[00:03:09]
And no matter what we have we reach for more[00:03:13]
We are desperate to discover[00:03:20]
What is just beyond our grasp[00:03:24]
But maybe that's what heaven is for[00:03:28]
I believe that's what heaven is for[00:03:34]
There's a time I can recall[00:03:48]
Four years old and three feet tall[00:03:52]
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar[00:03:56]
And both were out of reach[00:04:00]
