Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place, if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place, if you can
[Verse 2]
(Just try) Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement to someone who's lost their way
(Just try) Or would I be talkin' to a stone if I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own? (Oh, no)
We can change things if we start giving, why don't you
[Verse 3]
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
[Verse 4]
(Just try) If you see an old friend on the street and he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try) Try a little kindness and you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally (Oh, yeah)
We can change things if we start giving, why don't you
(Why don't you) Reach out and touch somebody's hand
[Verse 5]
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out, touch somebody, touch somebody's hand
(Make this world a better place) Oh, if you can
Why don't you?Why don't you reach out and touch
Somebody's hand?
A better place if you can
Reach out, reach out, reach out and touch somebody's hand
