Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I take the pieces of my broken heart
I place them in your hands
Cause I need answers, and I need reasons
But only you could understand
Right now I feel like these walls are closing in
And I'd give anything to feel your peace within
If I could reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I would reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever and beyond
For every trial I am facing it only brings me back to you
Cause I believe in a place called heaven where all my hopes
and all my dreams will come true
And every tear will be a million miles away
But until then I will be dreaming of the day
When I would reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I will reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever and beyond
I raise my hands and lift my eyes and let your spirit carry me
You lift me up into the sky you give me wings
I will reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I will reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever
You take me to the place where love will last forever and beyond
