I reach out to the ones I love
At least when I am brave enough
But sometimes I am too afraid
Afraid that they will turn away

In questions I reach out my hand
To what I want to understand
But that is more than I can ask
I reach for things I cannot grasp

I reach for what I hope to earn
I work and learn and in return
Reach for the stars
Find out they burn
Another lesson I can learn

And when I fall down from the stars
And when the tree was just too far
I summon all my strength to stand
And once again reach out my hand
