[Verse 1]
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird some days
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But giving into the nighttime
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

[Verse 2]
I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown 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

[Pre-Chorus]
But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You got to wade into the water
You got to 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

[Pre-Chorus]
But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You got to wade into the water
You got to 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

[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

[Bridge]
Rock me now (come on, come on, come on)

[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

[Outro]
Rock me now...
