See how the child reaches out instrictively
To feel how fire will feel

See how the man reaches out instrictively
For what he cannot have

The pull and the push of it all

Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for the hand to hold
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama

See how the flower leans instrictively toward the light
See how the heart reaches out instrictively
For no reason but to touch

The pull and the Push of it all

Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for the hand to hold
Reaching out for the Star
Reaching out for the Star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama
(Can't we see)
Reaching out for Mama
