[00:00:00] Reaching - Carolyn Arends

[00:00:01] Written by：Carolyn Arends

[00:00:09] There's a time I can recall

[00:00:12] Four years old and three feet tall

[00:00:16] Telling to the stars and the cookie jar

[00:00:20] And both were out of reach

[00:00:23] And later on in my high school

[00:00:27] It seemed to me a little cruel

[00:00:30] How the right words to say always seemed to stay

[00:00:35] Just out of reach

[00:00:38] Well I should not have thought it strange

[00:00:41] That growing causes growing pains

[00:00:45] 'Cause the more we learn the more we know

[00:00:49] We don't know anything

[00:00:52] But still it seems a tragic fate

[00:00:56] Living with this quiet ache

[00:01:00] The constant strain for what remains

[00:01:04] Just out of reach

[00:01:09] We are reaching for the future

[00:01:12] We are reaching for the past

[00:01:16] And no matter what we have we reach for more

[00:01:23] We are desperate to discover

[00:01:27] What is just beyond our grasp

[00:01:31] But maybe that's what heaven is for

[00:02:05] There are times I can't forget

[00:02:08] Dressed up in my sunday best

[00:02:12] Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn

[00:02:16] A bit of what the preacher preached

[00:02:19] And later lying in the dark

[00:02:23] I felt a stirring in my heart

[00:02:26] And though I longed to see what could not be seen

[00:02:31] I still believed

[00:02:34] I guess I shouldn't think it odd

[00:02:37] Until we see the face of God

[00:02:41] The yearning deep within us tells us

[00:02:45] There's more to come

[00:02:49] So when we taste of the divine

[00:02:52] It leaves us hungry every time

[00:02:56] For one more taste of what awaits

[00:03:00] When heaven's gates are reached

[00:03:05] We are reaching for the future

[00:03:09] We are reaching for the past

[00:03:13] And no matter what we have we reach for more

[00:03:20] We are desperate to discover

[00:03:24] What is just beyond our grasp

[00:03:28] But maybe that's what heaven is for

[00:03:34] I believe that's what heaven is for

[00:03:48] There's a time I can recall

[00:03:52] Four years old and three feet tall

[00:03:56] Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar

[00:04:00] And both were out of reach
