momma's song lyrics

{We gonna do something a little different for y'all 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
'Cause 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}

We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above
We all need that kind of love that special love, 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 meanin' 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 helpin' hand

We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above
We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above

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 'cause the world is in need of love like that

We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above
We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above

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

We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above
We all need that kind of love that special love, love from above

We all need that kind of love that special love like the love from above
We all need that kind of love that special love like the love from above
