Lead vocals by Paul Rodgers. This track segues into 'Tie Your Mother Down'.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'Brian May Collaborations (1993-2003)' page.
Eminem 'Beautiful' Sample:
During the 2005 tour, one of the warm-up tracks was 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem. He later included a sample of 'Reaching Out' on his track 'Beautiful', which was released on the 'Relapse' album in May 2009, later reissued as 'Relapse: Refill' in December 2009, with a bonus disc of extra tracks. It was also released as a single in August 2009, reaching no 12 in the UK.
Most versions of the album feature explicit lyrics, but some versions of the US album, and all alternate versions, feature clean lyrics. The download EP also includes an instrumental version, but this does not feature the sample.
The song includes Paul Rodger's speeded up vocals only, at the start of the track and towards the end. The only changes are the omission of the words 'wow' and 'like', but otherwise both samples in the song feature the complete lyrics.

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run round the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Ooh

Wait
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through

You've always got you something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Ooh

Oh, but I know what you're wishing for
Love in a peaceful world, I can't hear you now
Love in a peaceful world, tell me, tell me, tell me

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet at the wishing well, yeah

Dream on sweet dreamer
Way down deep in your wishing well

Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the door way the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out

Lyrics:
Roger: Hi everybody. Wow. I think we're gonna have a great night tonight, so, I, I've just come out here to bring you down. Um, this is, this is actually a song written for Nelson Mandela, ah, it's about, about something that does affect everybody, you, me, us, everybody, ah, that is the HIV/AIDS virus. This is called Say It's Not True.

The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all

The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you

Say it's not true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away

Say it's not true
Say it for real
Can't be happening to you
Can't be happening to me

It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve

With the wonders of science
And all the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford

So say it's not true
You can say it's not right
It's hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Could be happening to you
Could be happening to me

Roger: Thank you, thanks very much. Now you know that condoms are the fashion, anybody got any? Alright. OK, this is where I tell you that he is actually wearing, normally two, but actually three tonight, at the moment, at the moment this guy has just got the one on, this is from Brooklyn, USA, Danny Miranda.

Lyrics:
Brian: OK, you don't expect comedy from me, do you? You won't get it. OK, um, you know I have to say something, I get a very strange feeling about time, coming out here and sitting amongst all of you here, it's a priv-, a very privileged position to be sitting where I am, um, I can hardly believe it, it's, it's like you have to keep pinching yourself, it was almost nineteen years ago when Queen last trod the boards up here in Sheffield, and in some ways it seems like yesterday, some ways it's a very long time, and I look around and I see a lot of wonderful friendly faces, thank you all for being here. And the amazing thing is, the amazing thing is some of you I do know, and some of you guys, I look and, and you kind of look familiar, but actually you know you were probably not, or, or even just born when a, when this last happened, welcome to you all, we love you. Which brings me to the theme of this song which I'd like to sing for you, and I'd like you to sing with me if you're up for it, you wanna sing? OK, I'm just gonna tell you, this song is about time as well, it's about a, it's about a man who goes off in a silver spaceship to discover new lands, which he manages to do, but when he comes back, he a, he feels like he's only a year older, but to the people back on earth, his planet is a hundred years older. And a, you wanna sing? It goes like this.

In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

Don't you (Audience: hear my call though you're many years away)
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Audience: Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead - God bless all of you

Brian: You had your way, you're best. Wow, thank you

Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)

Convinced our voices can't be heard, ha
We just want to scream it louder and louder and

Aaahhhh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumping, and the hub-caps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
Your hand on my grease gun
It's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar (love with my car)
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
String back gloves in my automolove

Lyrics:
Sometimes I get to thinking
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect then, you know

The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
Sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I don't know
Rest of my life's been just a show

'Cos those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look, and I find, I still love you

Can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the time
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a rollercoaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and a thinking on what you did
When you can lay back enjoy it through the kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

'Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find Brian May

'Cos those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but
One thing's still true
When I look and I find
I still love you
Wow

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made us cry
You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know, and just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

You're good, oh

Our music changes through the years

Let's hope you'll never leave old friend

One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
The waiting seems eternity, yeah
The day will dawn of sanity (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)
Is this a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done

This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

Oh, it's magic, yeah (it's a kind of magic)
It's a kind of magic

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
Done
Wow

Roger: One, two, three
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all and I want it now

Adventure seeker, on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, no time for doubt
And the pain and the anger, can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
I gotta find me a future, move out of my way

I want it all, I want it all
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all and I want it now

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, that's gonna shake you to the ground
Oh just give me, ha, what I know is mine, ha
People do you hear me, just give me little sign

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
(I want it all, I want it all) give it to me, I want it all, yes I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all now), ooooh

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the call of youth

(I want it all, I want it all) give it to me now, oh yeah
(I want it all and I want it now) oooh, oh yes I want it all
I want it all (yes) I want it all
I want it all and I want it now
(I want it all, I want it all) oh yeah, ohh, ooh
(I want it all and I want it now)

I want it
I want it
I want it now

Lyrics: (the lyrics in white are sung by Freddie from Live At Wembley, lyrics in red are from the original version and lyrics in blue are live vocals)
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all, oooh

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very, very frightening me
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, figaro - magnifico-o-o-o-oh
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go
Never, never, never, never, never (never let you go)
Never let me go-o-o-o-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oooh, baby, can't do this to me baby
I just gotta get out - I just gotta get right outta here

(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Audience: Nothing really matters to me
Nothing really matters to me
Freddie/Audience: Anyway the wind blows

Lyrics:
Mmmmmm

Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, yeah, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning (I'm learning , I'm learning, I'm learning), I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning) round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
We can fly my friends

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show
(The show must go on) the show must go on

Paul: Ahh, thank you, what a thrill. Great.
