Lyrics:

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)


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


(just try)

Take a little time out of your busy day

To give encouragement

To someone who?'s lost the way

(just try)

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


(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 you?'ll see

It?'s something that comes very naturally

We can change things if we start giving


Why don?'t you

Reach out and touch

Why don?'t you (why don?'t you)

Reach out and touch somebody?'s hand


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
