Brooke Campbell: Music
Stretched Toward You
(Brooke Campbell)
2008-04-15
Tonight you are gathering
just below the sea
the Holy Host is rooting for you
the Holy Host and me
We never got around
why we couldn't be
But my hand is stretched toward you
There never was a single light
to show us where to go
stumbling and groping
through a world we didn't know
I have my bruises and
I hurt you bad, I know
But my hand is stretched toward you
I changed my ways
and you changed yours
It was push, pull, loathe, adore
But there was an iron case
around the core
We never got through
Now I'm in the kitchen
wading through my tears
knowing that to call would just perpetuate the years
But for all that's sure and certain
and for all that disappears
My hand is stretched toward you
My hand is stretched toward you
