There's a sound the world makes
When a child cries out in pain
It's a sound that stirs the human heart
It's a voice that calls your name

This is the time
To show you hear that voice
This is the time
To make the only choice

CHORUS
Time to Reach Out everyone
Can you find it in your heart
It’s worth giving
There’s nothing we can’t do
Together we can make it through
Its time to reach out
To everyone

VERSE (double)
Life won't always warn you
When the skies are turning grey
And the world you knew can suddenly
Be ripped and torn away
But however deep the darkness
There's a power that we share
It is knowing on the other side
That someone else is there

This is the time
To let them know we're here
This is the time
To wipe away their tears

CHORUS
Time to Reach Out everyone
Let your heart be your guide
There’s nothing we can’t do
Together we can make it through
Its time to reach out
To everyone

BRIDGE
We all have our burdens
And our own tears to be shed
And sometimes when we see a loss
We can only shake our heads
But with living comes giving
And the only thing that's true
Is those you help today
may one day do the same for you

(CHORUS)
Time to Reach Out everyone
Can you find it in your heart
It’s worth giving
There’s nothing we can’t do
Together we can see this through
time to Reach Out
to everyone

Time to Reach Out everyone
From the mountain high he listens
There’s nothing we can’t do
Together we can make it through
Its time to Reach Out
To everyone
