Arm and arm reaching along the way,
to raise me up above the fray.
A new dawn there so near my grasp,
I feel their strength within my clasp.

I keep on trying with faith and hope,
they reach for me that I may cope.
Within the light of day I seek,
Tall shadows stretch to help the meek.

Inch by inch the ground is crossed,
with their help I shall not be lost.
Could never make it on my own,
I was so lost and all alone.

My healing came in arms of love,
by others blessed by God above.
Helping hands bring such assurance,
so uplifting giving me endurance.

The miles now don't seem so long,
when I stumble friends make me strong.
Human chains reach out to carry me,
to help fulfill my destiny.
