As you walk this road of life
With all its troubles and strife
No one seems to care if you live or die
But there is somewhere in the dark
You can light a little spark
So, reach down, touch heaven for me
If you can only smile at someone along the way
It will brighten the darkest of the day
'Cause there's a stranger on the ground
Looking up as you reach down
So, reach down and touch heaven for me
Reach down and touch heaven for me
Oh Lord
Oh there is someone in the dark trying to see
You are the light that leads the way
To a bright and perfect day
So, reach down and touch heaven for me
Oh Lord, will You reach down and touch heaven for me
Oh Lord, oh there is someone in the dark just trying to see
Oh, You are the light that leads the way
To a bright and perfect day
So, reach down and touch heaven for me
Oh Lord
Oh, reach down and touch heaven just for me
