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

Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who’s lost their way

Or would I be talking to a stone if I asked you
To share a problem that’s not your own?
We can change things if we start giving
Why don’t you

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

If you see an old friend on the street
And he’s down, just remember
His shoes could fit your feet, yes

Try a little kindness and you’ll see
That it’s something that really comes
Very naturally, yes
We can change things if we start giving
Why don’t you

Reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody’s hand
Oh, Hallelujah
Reach out, yes, reach out

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
