There always seems to be a door that you can’t open
There always seems to be a mountain you can’t climb
But you keep on reaching
You just keep on reaching
When your destiny is out there in the distance
But the road ahead’s a mine field in disguise
And you keep on moving
You just keep on moving
You will make it through this
Just give it time
You gotta give it time

This is what you’re made for
Standing in the downpour
Knowing that the sun will shine
Forget what lies behind you
Heaven walks beside you
You got to give it one more try
One more time

You just keep on reaching
You just keep on, you keep on moving

When the shadows fall on everything you’re dreaming
When the promises turn out to be a lie
You just keep believing
You just keep believing
Oh, don’t stop your dreaming
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

You’ve got to keep on reaching
Keep believing
It’s gonna be alright

Behind the Song:
“If it hadn’t been for my wife, this song probably would not have made the record. It’s a moment in time, and it turns out it’s the absolutely perfect song to follow ‘Leave.’ It’s an encouraging song: You know what? You don’t think you can get through this door, and you don’t think there’s any hope, but keep believing. Keep pushing. Heaven walks beside you, you gotta give it one more try, one more time. It’s that don’t-give-up thing. It gets pretty epic.” - Michael W. Smith
