To touch the horizon
A hand reaches out
Toward the unknown
Darkness seeps in around
Fog obscures the world
A hand reaches out
To touch the horizon
Fear spreads through
A chance to pull away
To return to safety, still
A hand reaches out
To touch the horizon
Can one person change the world?
Can the world be turned
By the frantic beating
Of one small bird?
A hand reaches out
Towards a hope, a dream
Chaos and turmoil surround
But one hand, just one
Reaches out towards order
A dream achieved, a hope relived
One horizon touched by the
outstretched fingers of one hopeful child.
