There are times that we should do
Things we think we've not wanted to
Need to have a go
Though the answer may be no
But then I didn't know that
It was all such a long time ago
It's true we both needed to be told
Everybody needs a hand to hold
When I cannot see a way
That I'll ever get through the day
Tension is a curse
And to stop it getting worse
I know because you're with me
That I'm able to call on you first
It's true I so needed to be told
Everybody needs a hand to hold
Now it's clear for many people life is lonely
They're trying hard to find a friend that certain one
If I got a chance to tell
Then I'd say you're doing well
So don't stop what you've begun
There is someone
It is easy now to see
How more wonderful life can be
Once when you were near
Then the reason became clear
The strength we have together
Is a synergy working right here
Time was that we needed to be told
Everybody needs a hand to hold
So for all those many people who are lonely
You must continue looking for that certain one
I would love the chance to tell
And to say you're doing well
Please don't stop what you've begun
You'll find someone
For us it's not needed to be told
Everybody needs a hand to hold
