Music Corner Reach Out by Take that
TOUCHING YOU, TOUCHING ME Interpret the meaning expressed in the song “Reach Out” by Take That.
If our arms were reaching out If our words could only bridge the doubt Will we lose this chance again ? Strange roads with different signs Don't even know where we divide Are you my enemy or my friend?
Cause I don't know you And you don't know me It's the same sun rising We all just look to the sky If we try We can work it out somehow
If you don't know me And I don't know you How can we be fighting We're all connected it's true Reaching out It's only love that pulls us through
We all grieve in different ways If one tear could wash away the pain We're all free to have the faith we believe, yeah The world sleeps at different times With one turn your day is now my night We all live sharing the air that we breathe 'Cause I don't know you
Reaching out Reaching high Reaching out Touching you Touching me If our arms were reaching out If our words could only bridge the doubt
