G#               A#
If our arms were reaching out
Cm
If our words could only bridge the doubt
G#            A#           Cm
Will we lose this chance again?
G#                  A#
Strange roads with different signs
Cm
Don't even know where we divide
G#         D#/G          A#
Are you my enemy or my friend?

Chorus:
          D#
'Cause I don't know you
         A#
And you don't know me
          Cm
It's the same sun rising
   G#                    D#
We all just look to the sky
       A#
If we try
        Cm         G#
We can work it out somehow
        D#
If you don't know me
       A#
And I don't know you
        Cm
How can we be fighting
      G#                  D#
We're all connected it's true
         A#
Reaching out
              Cm                G#
It's only love that pulls us through

We all grieve in different ways
If one tear could wash away the pain
We're all free to have the faith we believe,
The world sleeps at different times
With one turn your day is now my night
We all live sharing the air that we breathe

Chorus

         G#  A#        D#/G Cm A#
Reaching out, reaching high
         G# A#
Reaching out
         D#/G          A#
Touching you, touching me
G#                A#
If our arms were reaching out
Cm                                  A#
If our words could only bridge the doubt

Chorus

Reaching out, reaching high
Reaching out
Touching you, touching me
Reaching out
It's only love that pulls us through
