Within Arm’s Reach
You were always in the lead
Two steps behind you did I tread
From you, I found love, I found strength
I started to stride besides you at length
Life felt good, I was living in my fantasy
I wanted to lead a little, to show you ecstasy
Now, you feel, that I can’t walk in your stride
All I ever wanted, was for you to enjoy your life
I ain’t going ahead leaving you behind
Will keep trailing again with all kind
If you need a friend, a shoulder, a listener
If you need to be loved without being a prisoner
You don’t have to go far, or fear
I’ll be within your arms reach, right here
