Reach Out and Touch
performed by Diana Ross and the Supremes

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
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

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)

If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(just try)

Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Why don't you
(why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
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


what a nice song.

it tells us a lot about what is missing in our society today.
it shows that we can make a difference in small ways.

doesn't it remind you of the kid who was walking along a shore throwing starfish back into the water. a guy comes up to him (i dont remember if it was a saint) and asks "Why are you doing that? You won't be making a difference."

the kid picks up another starfish and throws it. he then says "Made a difference to that one!"
