lyrics

A pat, a hug sincere and true can help a friend
Who's sad and blue
And the moments that are spent together, be a complement
One may never know how much a handclasp or a friendly touch
Can mean to someone in despair when we show concern and care

When you find yourself alone living on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea with no love of your own
What you need to do is reach out for me

Chorus:
Extend to one another a friendly hand of love
For we are emissaries of our father up above
Reach out with a helping hand
Or by folding them in prayer
Let those folks who are in need know that someone is there
All you have to do is reach out and touch somebody who needs a hand

Restoring hope when there is none is half the battle
And can be won
By a simple act of love given with God's help above
So reach out
While there still is time to change the outlook and the clime
To one of peace and happiness with a bit of cheer and tenderness

When you find yourself alone living on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea with no love of your own
Look over yonder and you will see
That there is someone waiting home for you

Repeat Chorus

Everyone needs to help those people
Reach out their human hands
To the poor and needy children all around the world
So if we start giving
Why not reach out and touch somebody's hand
And that will make life better for us

Repeat Chorus and fade out
