Reaching Out

It's that hesitation upon looking into the eyes of innocence before possible trauma

Even though the person is an adult doesn't mean it is all drama

Because fear exists in both young and old

You don't want to see them go in a direction when they aren't feeling bold

And the vulnerability hurts your eyes

You want to save them from their demise

And when you reach out a helping hand

You don't know if it will assist or if they will understand

And it's difficult to stand by and wait

Especially when you don't know a person's fate

And when you see tears of fear

You just want to offer encouragement and cheer

And the vulnerability hurts your eyes

You want to save them from their demise

And when you reach out a helping hand

You don't know if it will assist of if they will understand

You swallow hard and hope for the best

Hoping anxiety will depart from their chest

And if you both make it to the other side

The tightness and anguish will subside

And the vulnerability hurts your eyes

You want to save them from their demise

And when you reach out a helping hand

You don't know if it will assist of if they will understand
