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.

Just like the trees along the river bend
Lift up their branches to the sun above
We spent our lifetimes reaching for a friend
'Cause everybody need 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.

— Instrumental —

I wanted you since the day my life began
I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since that 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.

You're the one that I was reaching for…
