Just like the trees along the river bend
Lift up their branches to the sun above
We spend our lifetime reaching for a friend
'Cause everybody needs someone to love

Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for

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

Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for

Everybody's reaching out for someone
And long before I ever found you
