REACHING OUT
See how the child reaches out instinctively
To feeI how fire will feel.
See how the man reaches out instinctively
For what he cannot have.
The pull and the push of it all.
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama.
See how the flower leans instinctively toward the light
See how the heart reaches out instinctively
For no reason but to touch.
The pull and the Push of it all
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama.
(Can't we see..............
Reaching out for Mama.
