Song Title: Reach Out

This song is the soundtrack to what’s needed most right now in such a polarized and divided world – love. I wrote this in light of tense U.S. race relations and a world that’s struggling to proceed amidst a global pandemic.

LYRICS
Now, you may feel alone
Like you’re lost and right there on your own
But everywhere there’s someone feelin’ like you do
Whether on the mountain high
Or in a valley cryin’ every night
Tears don’t fall the same when you
Know they’re cryin’ with you
We’re in this life together, many storms we have weathered
I don’t know how, but I know we’ll get through
Because this night will end and there’ll be sunshine
And this time, I hope I see it with you
Stretch your heart out
Reach out and love somebody
Who may be down, Speak out because somebody
Needs your voice now, resound and sing it loudly
Stretch your heart out, spread love
Oh oh oh oh
Spread love
This is a message to the brokenhearted
You’re further than where you have started
Connected with other hearts on the way
I know the pain just seems to hang around
I know it’s probably hard to smile
I promise better days will come again
If you just keep on livin’, don’t you ever think of quitting
Cause someone out there is depending on you
To not just merely survive, but they need to see you thrive
In the meantime, I’ll tell you what you can do
Stretch your heart out
Reach out and love somebody
Who may be down, Speak out because somebody
Needs your voice now, resound and sing it loudly
Stretch your heart out, spread love
Oh oh oh oh…
Spread love
Someone’s giving up (Giving up)
Cause they’re in need of love (Need of love)
(Ooh) And you may have the words
To get them through their fight
To save someone’s life
Stretch your heart out
Reach out and love somebody
Who may be down, Speak out because somebody
Needs your voice now, resound and sing it loudly
Stretch your heart out, spread love
Use your heart to love a friend
No matter the color of their skin
These injustices will end (I believe)
There’s a peace we’re fighting for
Only love can win this war (Reach out, my friend)
Spread love
