I got a call from an old friend
We'd laughed about
How we had changed
But I could tell things weren't
Going as well as he claimed
He tried to hide his feelings
But they only gave him away
The longer I listen
The more I kept wishing
I knew the right word to say

Can you reach my friend
You're the only one who can
Lord, I know you love him
Make him understand
Can you reach my friend
Bring his searching into an end
Help him give his heart to you

We talked for more than an hour
And I smiled when he
Mentioned your name
I say that I knew you and told him
The difference you'd make
He never thought he would need you
But maybe he's changing his mind
As we said goodbye, lord
I told him that I had found
Somithing he'd like to find

Can you reach my friend
You're the only one who can
Lord I know you love him
Make him understand
Can you reach my friend
Bring his searching into and end
Help him give his heart to you
'Cause maybe he's ready tonight
Lord, he said that
He might need to call on you

Oh, can you reach my friend
You're the only one who can
Lord I know you love him
Make him understand
Can you reach my friend
Bring his searching into and end
Help him give his heart to
Help him give his heart to
Help him give his heart to you
