There’s something in a simple hug that always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home and makes it easier to part.

A hug’s a way 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 neighbor, or a cuddly 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 new equipment, special batteries or parts –
Just open up your arms and open up your hearts.
