Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand) Songtext
von The Temptations

You know the world is in such bad shape right now
The only thing we have
We can really count on
Is the love the one another
And we got that deep in our heart
Show it to someone

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 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
Maybe we can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Somebody′s hand (why don′t you)
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch (reach out)
Somebody's hand (all you gotta do)
Make this world a better place (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 (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, reach out)


La-la la-la la-la, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh la-la la-la la-la, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

(But you gotta reach out)
Reach somebody′s hand (all we need is a little bit of love)
Make this world a better place if you can (today)
Reach out and touch (we can do it together, everyone reach out)
Somebody′s hand (all you gotta do is reach out)
Make this world a better place if you can
(You got something on your mind)
(If you can reach out)

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
(′Cause everybody is doing it right now)
Make this world a better place if you can (make this world)
(Make it a better place)

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand (reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out)
Make this world a better place if you can (oh yeah)

Reach out and touch
Somebody′s hand (reach out, reach out, reach out)
Make this world a better place if you can
(Oh we can do it right now, it's all we need)

Reach out and touch (reach out, reach out, reach out)
Somebody′s hand (shake someboy's hand today)
Make this world a better place if you can (tell them it's gonna be alright)

Reach out and touch (don′t be afraid, don′t be afraid to stretch hands)
Somebody's hand (that little kid)
Make this world a better place if you can
(If you can, remember show the world right now)

Reach out and touch (it′s the picture, it's the picture)
Somebody′s hand (somebody's hand)
Make this world a better place if you can (make this world a better place)
(If you wanna be a little better off)
(Help somebody, if you can) (yeah)
