I never dreamed I could cry so hard That ain't like a man I could fly like a bird somedays Had a place where I could land I could have sworn we were all locked in Ain't that what you said I never knew it could hurt so bad When the power of love is dead But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again Chorus And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands I never knew love like poison That burned like a fire All I ever wanted was a reason To drowm in your eyes I never knew sleep so restless Empty arms so cold That's not the way it's supposed to be It ain't the spell that I was sold But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
