Lyrics

People need people.
Birds need the trees.
Fields need the fresh morning dew.
Stars need the nighttime;
Sunshine the day.
These are the ways I need you.

Children want playtime.
Par'nts want peace of mind.
Soft hearts want heav'n to be true.
Beasts want the feeding.
Fire, the fuel.
These are the ways I want you.

Lovers love loving.
Singers love song.
Flow'rs love when dawn breaks anew.
The grieving love dreaming
Of happier days.
These are the ways I love you.

Trav'lers miss sweethearts.
Pris'nors miss home.
The old miss the strength of their youth.
Creatures miss nature
As we fill the world.
These are the ways I miss you.
