Reach Up

Yes, reach out to your neighbor
Though her sadness overflows
And it might pull you under
If you dare to get too close
Reach out
Though there will be a price to pay
If you start to care too much
But before you try to reach someone
So dangerous to love

Reach up
Reach up

And reach down to your brother
And your sister in despair
Though poverty and ignorance
Conspire to keep them there
Reach down
Though giving everything you have
Will never be enough
But before you try to reach someone
Who doesn't want your love

Reach up
Reach up
Reach up

And reach in to the traitor
Who makes you feel like a clown
Who's always making promises
But only lets you down
Reach in
Though you're not able to forgive yourself
For all the things you've done
But before you try to reach someone
So difficult to love

Reach up
Reach up

Reach up
Reach up

Reach up
Before you reach out
Reach up

Reach up
Before you reach down
Reach up, reach up

Reach up
Before you reach in
Reach up, reach up...
