Reach Out

In a world of so many people,
Always rushing around to get somewhere,
Almost constantly plugged in
To their own private world within,
There’s simply not much room for anybody else there.

When you’re hurting, when you’re lonely,
When you don’t know where you fit it,
It’s only human to pull inside
Into the darkness where you can hide,
But there’s a better way: Let out that light within!

CHORUS:
You can reach out, all around you –
Reach out, wherever you are!
Reach near and far – Reach near and far –
And your light will help to light to world.

Oh, a whole new world awaits you,
When you open your eyes, open your heart.
You’ll find so many people there,
Waiting for you to stop and care,
And that’s really when your life begins to start!

CHORUS:
When you reach out, all around you –
Reach out, wherever you are!
Reach near and far – Reach near and far –
And your light will help to light to world.

You’ll make the world a brighter place,
And joy will light your face,
When you reach out wherever you are.
Reach out… Wherever you are.
