Another day is going out
A sea of faces crying out
With all we have today
You think we'd stop and take a look now, yeah
And all I want to say
Is maybe that we should reach out, everybody

Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody
Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody

In this old world we all can see
So let's take away the silent fears, yeah
With all of our mistakes
You think we'd stop and take a look now, yeah
And all I want to say
Is maybe that we should reach out, everybody
 
Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody
Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody

Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody
Reach out and, reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody
