Reach Out Richard

Richard hello, I know it's 4 a.m. on New Year's Day

I never made it home last night, alright

A minor so they dropped the charge and I'll be out today

I know that that won't make it right

It's never black and white but

Richard, you taught me all I need to know

But there's some things you can't prepare for

All I ever want to do

Is be as good a man as you

So don't you be concerned

(The kid is alright)

I've got to live and learn

(The kid's alright)

I know that you will see

(The kid's alright)

I'll find my way eventually

Richard your tears fall on the wheel as you wipe them away

I've never seen you so far gone, along

The snow is tumbling as you wonder what you didn't say

When I'm the one who got it wrong

I try to keep you calm, 'cause

Richard you showed me what was wrong and right

But now I gotta live my own life

I will fall along the way

But I'll remember what you say

So don't you be concerned

(The kid is alright)

I've got to live and learn

(The kid's alright)

I know that you will see

(The kid's alright)

I'll find my way eventually

Whoa whoa, reach out Richard

Whoa whoa, reach out

Whoa whoa, reach out Richard

Whoa whoa, reach out

(Whoa whoa reach out Richard)

I know you see yourself inside my eyes

(Whoa whoa reach out)

(Whoa whoa reach out Richard)

Richard don't worry 'cause the kid's alright

(Whoa whoa reach out)

I gotta live and learn

Richard you barely made it out of school

Well look at everything you've been through

Apples fall right from the tree

As long as you are here for me

I'll never be concerned

(The kid's alright)

I've got to live and learn

(The kid's alright)

I know that you will see

(The kid's alright)

I'll find my way eventually

So don't you be concerned

(The kid's alright)

I've got to live and learn

(The kid's alright)

I know that you will see

(The kid's alright)

I'll find my way eventually

The kid's alright

The kid's alright
