Reaching For The Sky
By Steve Sandler & Olivia Swedberg
We’ve come to sing for you, we could have stayed at home
Sitting in our easy chairs, silent and alone
If we could dance we would, hey maybe we should try
Though we’re slow and shaky we’re all reaching for the sky
Though we’re slow and shaky we’re all reaching for the sky
Though our faces show no smiles we are all smiling from within
Smiling as we softly croon the melodies we spin
We’ll sing our songs the best we can, we’re glad you came to hear
Our simple tunes and harmonies help us speak loud and clear
We’ve come to sing for you, we could have stayed at home
Sitting in our easy chairs, silent and alone
If we could dance we would, hey maybe we should try
Though we’re slow and shaky we’re all reaching for the sky
Though we’re slow and shaky we’re all reaching for the sky
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!!!
I agree Richard! A Good Job to all involved in the creation of this song and video! Congratulations to all!
Bravo! This is a terrific song and I especially loved the harmony and interesting melodic motifs. On behalf of the American Music Therapy Association I wish to say your musical art embodies what all music therapists hope their work will achieve — reaching for the sky! Well done, keep moving, keep singing, and keep up the good work.
