Reaching Up High
all alone on a shelf
just me and myself
holding on to my feet
Oh, Lord your sweet
Holding on to the justice courts
Can't believe in my self worth
I'm low, broke, busted and disgusted
I'm down and in seems as thought I never win
Looking down then I realized...Sometime
sometime freedom calls
so I find myself
Reaching up high
Reaching up high
I follow the rainbow in the sky
Reaching up high
Oh! Lord
I'm too busy now could I just sit here on this cloud
You call my name out loud
You said keep on praising my child
Holding on to the grace courts
Believe on in your self worth
No longer low, broke, busted and disgusted
You're not down and in seems as thought you never won
Looking up then you realized...Sometime
all times freedom calls grace never stalls
so you find yourself
Reaching up high
Reaching up high
I follow the rainbow in the sky
Reaching up high
Looking down then I realized...Sometime
sometime freedom calls
so I find myself
Reaching up high
Reaching up high
I follow the rainbow in the sky
Reaching up high
