I am reaching for the connection

Looking for protection

Falling through the branches of a situation

Hoping to grab on

Hold on

Then climb up to the place

Where I make a difference

Improve life

And be comfortable myself

For more of the time

More of us feeling fine

**

I am reaching for the connection

Looking for protection

Falling through the branches of a situation

Hoping to grab on

Hold on

Then climb up to the place

Where we can make millions

Improve life

And be comfortable together

For more of the time

All of us feeling fine

**

Safety in the world today

Often seems so far away

We get chances

Sometimes

But they rarely stay

We are forced to work

For such low pay

Just to survive one more day

Forced to believe

That that’s okay

As select people

Get to just rest and play

Never joining the fray

And much of the world

Starts to decay

**

There should be a balance

An even challenge

So everyone has opportunity

And we share our chances

Compassion advances

And true humanity is the only immunity

Where we can all hold on equally

In the tree of life

And we can strive

To thrive

Together

For a place to stay

That remains okay

Every day

**

I am reaching for the connection

Looking for protection

Falling through the branches of a situation

Hoping to grab on

Hold on

Then climb up to the place

Where we can make it easy to

Improve life

And be comfortable in our world

For more of the time

All of us feeling fine
