Lyrics

[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
