Lyrics Reaching Out - Phil Keaggy

Reaching Out

Had a dream just yesterday
Though not asleep, I was awake
In my mind I saw these hollow faces
They were young and looked neglected
They weren’t loved, they were rejected
And their eyes despaired of happy places
Could a world so lost be found again?
Could a child so lonely find a friend?
Reaching out to feel the touch of one hand
Near the bedside of one dying
Down the hall a newborn crying
In my heart I have so many questions
In the season of the Spring
New life flows through everything
Though memories of some are cold reflections
Could a world so lost be found again?
Could a child so lonely find a friend?
Reaching out to feel the touch of one hand
A new city is being formed
May your weary hearts be warmed
Everyone who faints with sorrow enter
And when the pain is passed away
And the night has met the day
There the Son will melt away the winter
Could a world so lost be found again?
Could a child so lonely find a friend?
Reaching out the healing touch of God’s hand
