When the weight of world bears down so strong   You leave footprints on the street   and there's too many miles to face   without a few more hours sleep   the storm clouds overhead won't shed   any rain to quench your thirst   i wanna be the one you reach for first      when your faith is stretched so thin   that you can see straight through your sould and you can't find a nickel to buy a smile   cause your pockets all got holes   you wanna shut the door and hide   before the day can get much worse   i wanna be that one you reach for first      fall into me    my arms are open wide   and you don't have to say a word   cause i already see   that it's hard and you're scared   and you're tired and it hurts   and i wanna be the one you reach for first      i wanna be the bottle   you've been drinking with your eyes   or the road you run away on   you've been running all your life   the third row pew   that you last knew as a child in church   i wanna be the one you reach for first      fall into me    my arms are open wide   and you don't have to say a word   cause i already see   that it's hard and you're scared   and you're tired and it hurts   and i wanna be the one you reach for first
