Needtobreathe's song "Reaching Out To Find You" is a reflective piece about reconciliation and the courage it takes to mend broken relationships. The lyrics acknowledge that forgiveness requires effort and that silence is not a solution. The singer expresses weariness with keeping score and hiding, choosing instead to reach out and bridge the divide. The imagery of a river carving a canyon illustrates the difficulty of crossing emotional distances. While the song does not explicitly mention God, its themes of forgiveness, honesty, and taking the first step align with Christian values of grace and reconciliation.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Sometimes it takes a while
But we might have to give up the side we're on
'Cause if we ever wanna reconcile
We might have to erase the lines we've drawn
Just like the river breaks the canyon wide
It's just so hard to reach the other side
If we're honest, the first step's the hardest to take
But the truth is that time heals, but not all the way
So I'm reaching out to find you
I'm tired of keeping score
I'm done with all the hiding
So I'm reaching out to find you
There's always give in the forgiveness
I guess that's just the chance we'll have to take
'Cause silence ain't the answer
It never makes the point we're trying to make
If we're honest, the first step's the hardest to take
But the truth is that time heals, but not all the way
So I'm reaching out to find you
I'm tired of keeping score
I'm done with all the hiding
So I'm reaching out to find you
Just like the river breaks the canyon wide
It's just so hard to reach the other side
If we're honest, the first step's the hardest to take
But the truth is that time heals, but not all the way
If we're honest, the first step's the hardest to take
But the truth is that time heals, but not all the way
So I'm reaching out to find you
I'm tired of keeping score
Oh, I'm done with all the hiding
So I'm reaching out to find you
I'm reaching out to find you
I'm reaching out to find you
