Lyrics
Can’t you feel it in your bones?
A change is coming on
From every walk of life
People seeing the light
Can’t you feel it in your heart now?
A new thing is taking shape
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
I’ve read about you my friend
Ain’t it time that you come on in?
We can find a better way
Why don’t you join us today?
Can’t you feel it in your heart now?
A new thing is taking shape
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
It’s been reflected in the attitude
Of other people just like you
Reach out and touch a hand
And make a friend if you can
Can’t you feel it in your heart now?
A new thing is taking shape
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
Make a friend if you can
Reach out and touch a hand
