Ev'rybody's reaching out for somebody
Er'rybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for

Just like the trees along the river bend
Life up their branches to the sun above
We spend our life times reaching for a friend
'Cause ev'rybody needs someone to love

I've wanted you since the day my life began
I heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your han'
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine
