We need helpful guidance
We need safe protection
We need caring kindness
We need LOVE...

We need help with homework
We need bedtime stories
We can help with housework
In exchange for our toys
We need LOVE...

We need you to be there
We need wise advice and
We need honest answers
To our life's big questions
We need LOVE...

We need father figures
Who we can aspire to
One day raise our own kids
In the best way we can
Give them LOVE...

CHORUS:

D, I, S, C, I,
P, L, I, N, E.
D, I, S, C, I,
P, L, I, N, E. [Repeat until fade...]

Written 2014-01-15 12:22 at Icknield Lower School, Dunstable, writing up ideas from yesterday and earlier this morning. Sadly despite my years of teaching primary school music classes, I've still not yet managed to get a class of kids to perform this to their parents in a concert, complete with ten children in the front row holding up huge letters on cards = guaranteed not a dry eye in the place! :)
