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
