Sometimes I get so depressed y'all
Seems things won't go my way
But if I can reach out and help somebody
Then I've had a good day
If I could help some sister or brother
Show a little love, once a month
If I could reach out and help somebody
Then I've had a good day
If I could reach out, oh and help somebody
Help somebody find their way
If I could feed someone that's hungry
Help someone that's lost be found
Have a little mercy
On those who's right or wrong
Then I've had a good day
Help someone that's blind to see
Brighten up someone's life
That's filled with misery
If I could reach out and help somebody
Help somebody find their way
If I could reach out oh and help somebody
Then I've had a good day
If I could get some lost kid out there
Who might be going down the wrong path
Show him, put him on the right way
Let him realize what he's doing is bad
If I could reach out, oh and help somebody
Then I've had a good day
