Reaching Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See how the child reaches out instinctively
To feel 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
