reaching out
don't know what you'll find
always reaching out

hoping you'll find love
cos when it comes
you'll hold on tight

but wonder will it ever survive
how long will it take
for love to stand by you


cos everybody needs
someone to love

and everybody needs
someone they can trust and know


cos people may come
and people will go away
they can cause you disappointment and pain

they come as your friend
though some in the end
they can leave you disappointed


you're in doubt
you've been down that road

met many people
who have left you cold
they pretend they're on your side

but soon draw their knives
gotta learn to figure out
just who's right and wrong for you


cos everybody needs
someone to love

and everybody needs
someone they can trust and know


cos people may come
and people may go away
they can cause you disappointment and pain

they come as your friend
though some in the end
they can leave you disappointed


gotta learn to read the signs
gotta learn who's wrong from right

gotta learn who is your friend
and will be there to the end for you
gotta learn to live your life

gotta learn to walk with pride
gotta keep that in your mind
gotta know deep down inside who's true


cos everybody needs
someone to love

and everybody needs
someone they can trust and know


cos people may come
and people may go away
they can cause you disappointment and pain

they come as your friend
though some in the end
they can leave you disappointed


cos everybody needs
someone to love

and everybody needs
someone they can trust and know


cos people will come
and people will go away
they can cause you disappointment and pain

they come as your friend
though some in the end
they can leave you disappointed
