[00:00:01] Reaching - Carolyn Arends

[00:00:04] Written by：Simply Carolyn Arends

[00:00:07] There's a time I can recall

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

[00:00:15] Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar

[00:00:19] And both were out of reach

[00:00:22] And later on in my high school

[00:00:26] It seemed to me a little cruel

[00:00:29] How the right words to say

[00:00:31] Always seemed to stay

[00:00:34] Just out of reach

[00:00:37] Well I should not have thought it strange

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

[00:00:44] Cause the more we learn the more we know

[00:00:48] We don't know anything

[00:00:51] But still it seems a tragic fate

[00:00:55] Living with this quiet ache

[00:00:59] The constant strain for what remains

[00:01:03] Just out of reach

[00:01:08] We are reaching for the future

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

[00:01:15] And no matter what we have we reach for more

[00:01:22] We are desperate to discover

[00:01:26] What is just beyond our grasp

[00:01:30] But maybe that's what heaven is for

[00:02:04] There are times I can't forget

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

[00:02:11] Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn

[00:02:15] A bit of what the preacher preached

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

[00:02:22] I felt a stirring in my heart

[00:02:26] And though I longed to see

[00:02:28] What could not be seen

[00:02:30] I still believed

[00:02:33] I guess I shouldn't think it odd

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

[00:02:40] The yearning deep within us tells us

[00:02:44] There's more to come

[00:02:48] So when we taste of the divine

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

[00:02:55] For one more taste of what awaits

[00:02:59] When heaven's gates are reached

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

[00:03:08] We are reaching for the past

[00:03:12] And no matter what we have we reach for more

[00:03:19] We are desperate to discover

[00:03:23] What is just beyond our grasp

[00:03:27] But maybe that's what heaven is for

[00:03:33] I believe that's what heaven is for

[00:03:47] There's a time I can recall

[00:03:51] Four years old and three feet tall

[00:03:55] Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar

[00:03:59] And both were out of reach
