There’s something in a simple hug
That always warms the hearts:
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug’s a away to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you ‘cause you’re you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbour,
Or a coddly teddy bear.
A hug is an amazing thing-
It’s just the perfect way
To show the love we’re feeling
But can’t find the words to say.

It’s funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good:
In every place and language,
It’s always understood.

And hugs don’t need equipment,
Special batteries or parts-
Just open your arms
And open up your hearts.
