Everyone Needs Someone

Everyone Needs Someone


  People need people and friends need friends

  And we all need love, for a full life depends


Not on vast riches or great acclaim


Not on success or worldly fame

But just in knowing that someone cares


And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers


For only the knowledge that we're understood


Makes everyday living, feel wonderfully good


And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need


When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed

The outstretched hand reaching to find


A kindred spirit whose heart and mind


Are lonely and longing to somehow share

Our joys and our sorrows and to make us aware


That life's completeness and richness depends


On the things we share with our loved ones

  and friends
