This song was written for a video that never happened. The visuals are all there, described in the song. If anyone out there would care to make a video for this tune I think it'd be great. Share it with me, please, if you do.
Lyrics
Hug It Forward
Words and Music by Joe Rathburn
Everyone’s got some love to share
Some just keep it hidden
If you think you’ve got some love to spare
A little huggin’s not forbidden
If you see someone who needs a squeeze
Show you care and hug ‘em please
Spread the love by huggin’ it forward now
Lotta folks filled with hurt inside
You can help ‘em through it
A little love can help ‘em turn the tide
Just a simple hug can do it
Don’t stand there with your arms akimbo
Put ‘em ‘round John, Joan, Jane, and Jimbo
Spread the love by huggin’ it forward now
Euro Hug, Koala Hug,
Rocking Hug, Helicopter Hug,
Shaking Hug, Patting Hug,
Football Hug
Hug, hug, huggin’ it forward
Put a smile on someone’s face
Don’t refrain from embracing
We can make the world a nicer place
By narrowing the spacing
Ask ‘em first so you don’t scare ‘em
It works best if you prepare ‘em
Spread the love by huggin’ it forward now
One Shoulder Hug, Bear Hug,
Jumping Hug, Group Hug,
Great Big Hug, Little Baby Hug,
Gentle Hug
Hug, hug, huggin’ it forward
Put a smile on someone’s face
Don’t refrain from embracing
We can make the world a nicer place
By narrowing the spacing
Don’t stand there with your arms akimbo
Put ‘em ‘round John, Joan, Jane, and Jimbo
Spread the love by huggin’ it forward now
Spread the love by huggin’ it forward now
Change the world by huggin’ it forward NOW!
