When the world has to me down and I'm empty like a ghost town when desert sun has beat on me and overwhelmed me by the heat Just when I lose hope and think I am lost through the mirage is the truth of the cross like water to me when the whole world is dry I know where my help will come from I reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
When good and bad and ugly strain inside my mind I'm like a train who's out of fuel and out of fire won't move again I've no desire, but You give me fuel to start moving again through every failure and every sin, where do you go when you've no strength to try I know where my help will come from I reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
When trouble rides on in to town and evil circles me around God's my defense so I won't flee I won't go down I'm packing heat reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
(to the sky) Lord I lift my eyes
(to the sky) with my hands held high
(to the sky) You won't leave me dry no
(to the sky) God You always hear my cry
