The journey's left its share of scars
Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight
Looking back it is clear to me
That a man is more than the sum of his deeds
And how You've made good of this mess I've made
Is a profound mystery
Looking back You know You had to bring me through
All that I was so afraid of
Though I questioned the sky, now I see why
Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view
Looking back I see the lead of love
Looking back I can finally see (I'd rather have wisdom)
How failures bring humility (
I Can't Reach Her Anymore
(Mark Petersen/Bruce Theien)
She still answers whenever I call
We talk about work and the weather and all
If I mention the past or maybe coming back home
It ain't long till I hear that old cold dial tone
I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore
I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before
She don't have much to talk about
Since my feet did the walking out
If she could only see them walk the floor
I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore
She says her job is hectic but it's beautiful outside
She might call in sick tomorrow and just take a drive
I said I'd really love to see you can I meet you somewhere
And then the conversation fades and long distance fills the air
I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore
I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before
She don't have much to talk about
Since my feet did the walking out
If she could only see them walk the floor
I still got her number but I can't reach her
I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore
I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before
She don't have much to talk about
Since my feet did the walking out
If she could only see them walk the floor
I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore
