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 the branches to the sun above
We spend our lifetimes reaching for a friend
'Cause everybody reach 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 that moment, I've been reaching for your hand
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine

'Cause everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
Oh, you're the one that I was reaching for
I said that you're the one that I was reaching for
