Reach For The Sun

I wrote a song about war,

the kind that lives in your head.

I found a place I can sit,

a place where everyday light hits.

Like the palm of your hand when you're reaching for something

that's balled up in the sky.

That's the way that I like to see myself;

reaching for just one star at a time.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

See, I got lost in the sound.

It was the moment I felt sick,

just when I needed it most.

There is not much to explain,

except I found myself blinded by every bit of light.

I felt so safe inside the sight of the sun.

I really think I'm home now, I really think that.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.

It hit so hard and it took my spirit

Know that I belong to you until I die.

I remember giving this a try...

I screamed so loud, 'cause that's exactly how I felt.

It broke me out, and I gave up all my plans.

I set them down, 'cause I really need to see the sun again.

Don't worry, 'cause I'll be fine.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.

It hit so hard and it took my spirit.

Know that I belong to you until I die.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.

It hit so hard and it took my spirit.

Know that I belong to you until I die.
