Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand) - Live At Caesar's Palace/1974

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

(Just try)
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 (oh, oh)
We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand, yeah wooh
Yeay-hey, Woah, woah oh-oh-oh
Wohh-huh, Yey-hey, Woah, woah oh-oh-oh

Ohh
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
