my daddy he’s takin’ a nap in his room
and my mama, she baked bread this afternoon
my windows are open and the birds are all singin’
but my mind wanders on and my thoughts they are wingin’
their way to you, dear friend
to you
please reach out to someone
please reach out to someone
i know that the silence can be hard to bear
and the strangers you meet just don’t seem to care
for your smile, or hello, or the kind word you said
as day follows day and we tally the dead
how are you, dear friend
how are you?
please reach out to someone
please reach out to someone
the darkness would tell you you’re there all alone
and your fear whispers loud that you’ll never be known
but the devil’s a liar and he’s never been right
so remember the promise that comes with the light
for it’s true, dear friend
always true
please reach out to Someone
please reach out to Someone
i know that your arms may feel empty like mine
and a reason to hope can feel hard to find
but one day again we will stand face to face
’til then Love still enfolds us and holds us in place
even you, dear friend
even you
please reach out to Someone
please reach out to Someone
i wrote you a letter and i know that it’s not
what you might want to hear, but it’s all that i’ve got
and it’s caught me forever, so i know that it’s true
and i hope that one day you’ll let it find you
please reach out to Someone
please reach out to Someone
