We have to reach out before we raise ourselves up

Sometimes in worrying how far to go, we forget how far we’ve come
Sometimes we move forward, not knowing where we are from

If we cling to the bottom wrung,
we cannot grab the next one

Sometimes we have to fall the farthest, to climb to a new height
Sometimes we are cast into darkness, to rediscover the light

As one foot is set down, the other must be lifted up
or we will remain stagnant and stuck

Sometimes we wonder off the path, so we can discover a new way
Sometimes it takes someone else’s eyes, to see ourselves okay.

It is in the silence that the heart makes a sound
Only after everything is lost, will all things be found

Sometimes our spirit is shattered, to make it whole
Sometimes we lose ourselves, to find our soul
