lyrics

Old man standin' by the side of the road
Starin' with a lonely face
He's just lookin for something to hold

Then he finds a young boy tuggin' at the
Seat of his pants offers him a smile
Then the old man's heart begins to dance

The thought is simple and it's true
We need the love of one another to make it through
It all depends on you!

Bobby tries to make it on his own though
His worries are showin' ego is flowin'
Keeping him from growin'

It's time he steps out of himself and towards
Those who care with their arms open wide
They're just waiting to share their love with him

The thought is simple and it's true
We need the love of one another to make it through
It all depends on you!

Mr. Wright fought a battle that he thought
He had won until he looked at his son
And said, what the hell have I done

He tried to push him too hard to the edge
of control crushing the mold a loveless
Man will fold

The thought is simple and it's true
We need the love of one another to make it through
It all depends on you!
