Lyrics:

By james ingram/michael mcdonald/rod temperton/quincy jones


Heavenly father watching us all

We take from each other and give nothing at all

Well it's a dog-gone shame

But never too late for change

So if your luck runs low

Just reach out and call his name, his name


Chorus:

Yah mo be there (up and over)

Yah mo be there (up and over)

Yah mo be there (up and over)

Yah mo be there (up and over)

Whenever you call


Never be lonely lost in the night

Just run from the darkness

Looking for the light

'cause it's a long hard road

That leads to a brighter day (hey)

Don't let your heart grow cold

Just reach out and call his name, his name


Chorus:

You can count on it brother

'cause we're all just finding our way

Travelling through time

People got to keep pushing on

No matter how many dreams slip away

Yah mo be there


Well it's a dog-gone shame

But never too late for change

So when your luck runs low

Just reach out and call his name, his name
