Lyrics[]
[Intro]
We made this record for everyone
Even for those people who just like to have fun
Because when people hear this song
I think everyone will say
That we came come together
In an unbelievable way
You don't have to be a big star
To give your time of count in what you believe in
You just have to be the kinda person
Who believes in [?]
Reaching out to help America
[?] true
So when you hear this record
No matter what you do
Adults and children too
Help us
[Verse 1]
Why don't you bring a friend with you
So you can lend a hand or two?
We'll make it work if we just believe
That every where you go, there's people in need
Know you're, you're for your own, that's okay
Because we need those hands to save the day
I'll do my best to let you know
That we've got to come together and start to grow
[Chorus]
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
[Verse 2]
I've seen the people sleeping out on the streets
I want to help them 'cause it's hard to believe
That no one wants to help their fellow man, so
I'm asking everyone to take a stand, let's take a stand
[Chorus]
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
We're reaching out to help America
[Verse 3]
We're helping people in other countries
When right in our cities, people can't even eat
And you've got to realize what you have to do
Together, we can make a lot of dreams come true
And I know you'll wanna dance to the beat of this song
But remember the reason why you came along
Look for a friend, don't look for a fight
Help the needy people and you'll save a life
Help the people come together
You can see it, oh yeah
[Outro]
