Released as the second single from the soundtrack to the 1981 film Heavy Metal, “Reach Out” failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 unlike the singles from the soundtrack released before and after it, “Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)” and “Working in the Coal Mine”.
In the film, this song plays in...
[Verse 1: Robin Zander]
No one's going to give it away
They make it hard for the people today
To get what you want, you've got to do it yourself
Don't be afraid to drive a nail in the wood
And drink the water that t-tastes so good
You go the distance you never thought that you could, oh oh
[Chorus: Robin Zander]
Reach out and take it
Reach out and t-t-take it
Reach out and take it
Reach out and t-t-t-take it
Reach out and take it, oh yeah
[Verse 2: Robin Zander]
Call it the catch when you go over and over
Before the old one's gone you've got a new owner
You need assistance when your head's in the ground
You could live easy if life stood still
You could be making and raking and taking it all
But when you know, you're gon' fall
[Chorus]
[Bridge: Robin Zander]
Don't have to make it so hard
Don't have to make it so, so hard
Don't have to make it so hard
Don't have to make it so hard
[Guitar solo: Rick Nielsen]
[Chorus: Robin Zander]
Reach out
Reach out
Take what you want
Reach out
Reach out
Take what you want
Reach out
Reach out
Take what you want
Reach out
Reach out
Take what you want...
