Reach Out

I have a memory Of a time and place where history resigned Now my apology All the light came in to fulminate my mind Reach out, reach out To all the ones who came before you Ponder what is right You and I, in defiance Speak out, speak out The conversation may afford you Wisdom of the wise You and I, in defiance And I come from conscience where there is no conjugation I would rather be a flower than the ocean And I held myself as something of an innovation I would rather be devoured than be broken All my life I tried so hard To separate myself from all That is and was and will be torn apart You were running unafraid I know you, but I've changed my way You know I take it all to heart Home is where you've called my name I've gone as far as the eye can blame You said love may have lost its way Now my life has been erased And what I gave, I gave for you And for myself and for the holy name You were running unashamed And yours is mine and all remains As nothing ever stays the same Reach out, reach out To all the ones who came before you Reach out, reach out To all the ones who came before you Reach out, reach out And all at once the pain restores you Reach out, reach out And all at once the pain restores you All at once the pain restores you I have a memory of a time and place where history resigned Now in my reverie For the guiding light that opened up my mind
