[Verse 1]
If I have weaknesses, don't let them blind me
Or camouflage all I am wary of
I could be sailing on seizures of laughter
Or crawling out from under the heel of love

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Like a beggar at your sleeve?
Olodumare is smiling in heaven
Smiling in heaven, I do believe

[Chorus]
Reach in the darkness, a reach in the dark
Reach in the darkness, a reach in the dark
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To glide away from the razor or a knife
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life

[Verse 2]
Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable
Fashion is rich people waving at the door
Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion
Lies of a nature we've heard before
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Like a beggar at your sleeve?
Babalú-Aye spins on his crutches
Says "leave if you want, if you want to leave"

[Chorus]
Reach in the darkness, a reach in the dark
A reach in the darkness, reach in the dark
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To glide away from the razor or a knife
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life
