Lyrics Beyond Our Reach - Erin Elizabeth Barker

Coming into a new century
A world that's changing so rapidly
Sometimes it scares me to think
If I slow down I might just sink
Put the petty problems aside
Come out in the open
Try not to hide
Behind the colors
The pride and the shame
Inside our shells
We're all the same
All the same

In the vast space of the unknown
Voids of dark matter
Answers not shown
We are grains of sand on an endless beach
So far beyond the ends we'll not reach
Mindless souls with the whole world to teach
Trying to touch just beyond our reach

The gods and devils by which we abide
Can be found deep down inside
So when you reach toward the heavens above
Know that true heaven is found in love
Innocent children learn from them well
They know not of death or money or hell
They know how to see the young in the old
Turn houses to castles and pennies to gold
Gold

In the vast space of the unknown
Voids of dark matter
Answers not shown
We are grains of sand on an endless beach
So far beyond the ends we'll not reach
Mindless souls with the whole world to teach
Trying to touch just beyond our reach
