Reach

I'm walkin' around lookin' up at
what I can't reach.  Pretty faces
fill the places I wish I could
be.  I was a child who no one
wanted to teach.  Now misery
is all I see.

Now I've grown and I'm trying to
give my life a jump start.  That's hard
to do when it's empty.  I need someone
with smile and an open heart.  I could
use some company.

I don't know much but I can poor my
soul into a song.  I hope it's gonna make
you see what's inside me.  How can that
be wrong? I hope it's gonna make you
love me.
