On this song because
Me and my mama was watching the news the other day and
We saw a lot of thangs that's goin' on in the world
And mama just happen to just come up with some lyrics to a song
She said "I want y'all to sing this song for me on this CD
Cuz y'all never sang a song for me before"
And ah, this was written by mama
And this is what mama told me to tell y'all
She said

[1] - We all need that kind of love
That special love
The love from above

We all need that kind of love
That special love
The love from above

Look into the mirror of life
And tell me what you see
I see people all over the world
Who needs to know the meaning of love

Let me tell you what real love is all about
If you see a man down, don't step on him
Reach down and pick him up
Pick him up, give him a helping hand

[Repeat 1]

Oh, see that mother over there
Strugglin' to survive
She has about five little children
No food or clothes to put on their backs

And what you should do
If you see somebody like that
You should go up to them
Lend them a helping hand
Offer a roof over their head
Cuz the world is in need of love like that

[Repeat 1 ]
[Repeat 1 while: ]
K-Ci help me, K-Ci help me
Tell 'em where we need love
USA, Africa, Bosnia, Ethiopia
Korea and China, even Iraq too
Even in Haiti
That's what we all need

[Repeat 1 until fade
