When I was a young boy We used to go to church every sunday There was handclapping, foot-stomping music We used to dance in the name of the lord And now I grow older Somewhere on the road of life I wanna sing a song to him Gotta be? If the whole world could be wrapped up in love What a beautiful feeling Such heavenly bliss, oh lord And the clouds that pierce the sunset, oh lord Oh, what a beautiful feeling If the whole wide world could join in and sing You need love, don't you? People need love, don't we? We all need love, don't you? Mama need love, me too Papa need love, me too Love, love is a crazy feeling Of happiness again? 'Cause living in a world without love Or handclapping, foot-stomping music For us to get together every now and then Sing a song of love for the children to learn Oh oh, la, la la Oh what a beautiful feeling If the whole world could join in and sing Never mind who wants to do their own thing If we could be like that every time We could never solve our problems together But remember one thing As a nation and a people that is unified Remember You need love, don't you? We all need love, don't we? The children need love, don't we? The whole world need love, don't we?
