Lyrics

Can't you feel it in your bones, A change is coming on. From every walk of life People are seeing the light. Can't you feel it in your hearts now; A new thing is taking shape. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. Hey what about you my friend, Ain't it time you come on in? Live the united way, Why don't you join us today. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. It's been reflected in the attitudes, Of others just like you. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. Everyday folks are waking up, To the need for one another. We're on our way, Making the world a better place. Can't you feel it in your hearts now; A new thing is taking shape. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can. Reach out touch a hand; Make a friend if you can (Repeat - fades)
