Feel The Need

(album: a tree planted by water - 2019)

Born in the bitter cold winter
Kiss of grace was rendered
Skin tough as grandma's kitchen (Kitchen)
Child, here is your bad condition, well
Her eyes, they glowed with brilliant light, oh
Mama said it's gonna be alright (Be alright)
She said "Baby, you came just in time
The world needs your light, let yours shine"

You're a gift from above
You're a gift from above
Child, you were sent here to love (Sent here to love)
Ooh, show them all love
Baby, shower your love
Baby, all we really need is love (All we really need is love)

They say you can't have nice things
And your soles will be worn
'Cause your dirt road ain't paved
And your clothes and your self-worth are torn
But baby, you got a song to sing
So to hell with that, just shout
And the song makes you king, so sing out
Pay no mind, baby, they just blind
Just you wait until they see your shine, hey
Never let them dim it, never give up your fight
If you do, then they can take your life

You're a gift from above
You're a gift from above
Child, you were sent here to love (Sent here to love)
Ooh, show them all love
Baby, shower your love
Baby, all we really need is love (All we really need is love)

Hey, don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)

This little light is yours
But not yours to keep
It's just a loan, yeah
You gotta spread it around
Especially to those who tried to break you down, hey
Just show them the power of love
And you'll see the fear leave their eyes, oh
You're a gift to this world, it cannot be denied

You're a gift from above
You're a gift from above
Child, you were sent here to love
Ooh, show them all love
Baby, shower your love
Baby, all we really need is love
Baby all we really, all we really need, need, need, need, need, need, hey

Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Don't you feel the need?
Don't you feel the need?
For love? (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)

Ooh, don't you feel it?
Oh
Don't you feel the need for, for love?
