Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't you feel it in your bones? No
A change is comin' on
From every walk of life
People are seein' the light
[Verse 2]
Can't you feel it in your hearts now?
A new thing is takin' shape
Reach out, touch a hand, no
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 3]
Hey, what about you, my friend?
Ain't it time you come on in?
Live the united way
Why don't you join us today?
[Verse 4]
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 5]
It's been reflected in the attitudes
Of others just like you
Reach out, touch a hand, yo
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 6]
Every day, folks are wakin' up
To the needs of one another
We're on our way
Makin' the world a better place
[Verse 7]
Can't you feel it in your hearts now?
A new thing is takin' shape, uh
Reach out, touch a hand, y'all
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 8]
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 9]
Reach on out, touch a hand, oh-ah
Make a friend if you can, yeah
Reach out, touch a hand, somebody's hand
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 10]
Reach out and touch a hand, ooh, yeah
Make a friend if you can, oh
Reach out, touch a hand, oh
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 11]
(Oh, you got to reach on out) Reach out, touch a hand
(Oh, touch somebody's hand) Make a friend if you can
Reach out, touch a hand (Make yourself free, no)
Make a friend if you can
[Verse 12]
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can (Oh, oh, yeah)
Reach out, touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
