just a little farther

my world is fading 
if only I could reach a little farther
I could touch the sky 
and learn to fly
with these broken wings of mine
if only i could reach a little farther
with my outsretched arms
and graze your soul
with my aching fingers
to let you know
I'm still here
if only I could reach a little farther
to pull myself up 
and out of this hole 
the pit in my stomach 
the dread in my heart
if only I could reach a little farther
I just might be able to make it out of the dark.
