I got a call from an old friend we

laughed about how we had changed but I

could tell things weren't going as well

as he claimed He tried to hide his

feelings, but they only gave him away

The longer I listened, the more I kept

wishing I knew the right words to say

Can you reach my friend

You’re the only one who can

Lord, I know you love him

Make him understand

Can you reach my friend

Bring his searching to an end

Help him give his heart to you

We talked for more than an hour and

I smiled when he mentioned your name

I said that I knew you and told

him the difference you’d made

He never thought he would need you,

but maybe he’s changing his mind

As we said good bye, Lord,

I told him that I had found

something he’d like to find

Can you reach my friend

You’re the only one who can

Lord, I know you love him

Make him understand

Can you reach my friend

Bring his searching to an end

Help him give his heart

‘Cause maybe he’s ready tonight, Lord

He said that he might

need to call on you

Oh, an you reach my friend

You’re the only one who can

Lord, I know you love him

Make him understand

Can you reach my friend

Bring his searching to an end

Help him give his heart to

Help him give his heart to

Help him give his heart to you
