[Verse 1]
See how the child reaches out instinctively
To feel how fire will feel
See how the man reaches out instinctively
For what he cannot have

[Pre-Chorus]
The pull and the push of it all

[Chorus]
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold
Reaching out for the star
Reaching out for the star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama

[Verse 2]
See how the flower leans instinctively
Toward the light
See how the heart reaches out instinctively
For no reason but to touch

[Pre-Chorus]
The pull and the push of it all

[Chorus]
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold
Reaching out for the star
Reaching out for the star that explodes
Reaching out for Mama

[Bridge]
Can't we see...

[Outro]
Reaching out for Mama

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
