Someone To Hug

I'll go out today
Wearing a smile on my lips
and my heart on my sleeve.

With stars in my eyes
and wind in my hair,
I'll go out today
and find someone to love.

The sun's shinning bright
And there's a whiff of
fragrance in the air,
Amidst the blooming flowers
and the humming bees,
Under an open blue sky
I'll go out today
to dance and play.

With goodwill towards all
and malice towards none,
With faith in my heart
and trust in the Lord
I am ready to love again;

Oh yeah! I'll go out today
and find some to hug.
