Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Reaching out to find a friend

In a world where the troubles never seem to mend

I'm reaching out for a friend

People walking in the sun

Lost in fear or lost in love

When the rain falls down, it falls on everyone

[Verse 2]

I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

[Verse 3]

Drawing circles in the sand, trying hard to understand

How the dreams we hold slip right through our hands

Another day and another life, I see it all with my own eyes

When it all comes around, the truth outweighs the lie

[Verse 4]

I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

[Verse 5]

Some people talk like they know everything

Some act like they just don't believe

Others, they try and make you feel ashamed

But most don't practice what they preach

[Verse 6]

Reaching out to find a friend

In a world where the troubles never seem to end

Oh here I go again

I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

I'm reaching out for a friend
