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
  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]
