[Verse 1]
No man should have to face
His problems alone, alone, alone
Reach out and help the weak man
Make him strong, strong, strong
Now I want to help somebody
I'd like to help you, you, you
Now don't that make you want to
Help somebody too, too, too
[Hook]
The love you give
Might help somebody live
So give up yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Doo wah doo way
Let love prevail
Reach out and help somebody
Reach out and help somebody
[Verse 2]
We all stand together
We all stand tall, tall, tall
We won't let each other
Tumble and fall, fall, fall
Now let's reach down together
And lift somebody up, up, up
Give love and kindness
It won't take much, much, much
[Hook]
The love you give
Might help somebody live
So give up yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Doo wah doo way
Let love prevail
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody
[Outro]
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
No man should have to face
His problems alone, alone, alone
Reach out and help the weak man
Make him strong, strong, strong
Now I want to help somebody
I'd like to help you, you, you
Now don't that make you want to
Help somebody too, too, too
[Hook]
The love you give
Might help somebody live
So give up yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Doo wah doo way
Let love prevail
Reach out and help somebody
Reach out and help somebody
[Verse 2]
We all stand together
We all stand tall, tall, tall
We won't let each other
Tumble and fall, fall, fall
Now let's reach down together
And lift somebody up, up, up
Give love and kindness
It won't take much, much, much
[Hook]
The love you give
Might help somebody live
So give up yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Doo wah doo way
Let love prevail
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody
[Outro]
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and help somebody
Reach out your hand and help somebody today
