Lyrics
Hands stretched out across the waters
Watching movements from the sky
Nations joined in common interest
God in Heaven hear our cry
Religious wars have spanned the centuries
Both sides fight for sacred cause
Have we learned nothing from our history
To intervene won't change their cause
Reach out take hold of my hand
For all that surrounds you is not what it seems
Politians treading water
Over moral issues gone astray
In the name of special interest
Let those few just have their say
As the gap between the parties widen
God and family verses altered style
We veiw the world in different colors
To think the same may take a while
Reach out take hold of my hand
For all that surrounds you is not what it seems
All eyes turned towards Heaven
Tears fall from the sky
Searching for an answer
No reply
Where is our sign
If this world seems out of focus
Moral fibers stripped away
In a time of self-indulgence
We're the ones who soon will pay
And what has become of mother earth
We take so much and give so little in return
We're the only ones we're fooling
Take a look around will we ever learn
Reach out take hold of my hand
For all that surrounds you is not what it seems
