Reach Lyrics

Verse 1

Early morning drinking coffee, my life in motion
Think about the scope of how my time is coastin?
Things change everyday, the world around me
People come and go as their lives surround me
And as I pass by, I pray that hope had found me
So I can find something in this life astouding
Maybe what it is, isn?t meant to be discovered yet
But I?m always looking, so I keep taking steps
And every next breath is a gift that?s been given, yes
So I thank God for the heart in my chest
Which is still beating, I?m still living, and it?s a good day
I?m still trying to live life right, in a good way
Make the changes, adapt to the circumstances
Do what I gotta ?cause in life you gotta take chances
I want a chance at a good life, and a romance,
I just wanna do it all before I take my last dance

Chorus: (2x)

I want a song to get you, the way that it gets me
Hit your insides like a punch to the kidneys
Something that affects you as soon as you hear it
I want a song that will reach you and lift your spirits

Verse 2

I make music that you can?t compare, really to anyone
Carved my own path that at times has been a rough one
Struggled some, dealing with the industry assholes
Around my way here they?ve been nothing but hassles
But it?s a good thing though, it?s thickened my skin
And I stand on higher ground than the depths I?ve been in
If your smart, you learn from the mistakes you live
And I?m a wiser man now in a cutthroat biz
That?s what it is, you just learn to grind or you perish
My mind is focused on what I do like a cleric
I?ve seen the crumblin? of some things that I cherish
But quitting is not an option so I hold to my merits
You find the sweetest gain after the sourest hours
And every little while there?s a shift in power
All due things will come in time and place
So lift your chin up and keep your head on straight

Chorus (2x)

Verse 3

There?s a tree outside my window, brittle and thin
And it survives all the weather, the ice and wind
It?s lasted a lot longer than I though it would
It?s a prime example, that if you can, you should
And it?s proven to me, that you need inner strength
Against a cold world that will teach you to hate
When all you really want are things to be alright
But the more you steer left, the further you drift right
It?s like the current of the ocean, dragging you down the beach
Away from where you started, and can?t keep your feet
Then the fear and paranoia set it, thus it begins
And I?ve been there myself, so yes I know when
That you gotta make a change to bring your life around
You can?t let the past be the thing that holds you down
Sometimes I can?t see past the moment I?m in
But right then, is when I reach for the strength within

Chorus (4x)
