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
