We All Need Love was first recorded in the 1970's when I was filled with hope for the future. The release of a new version on my album Moon Over Water, co-incides with the anniversary of the terrible turmoil in Ukraine.

I still believe in the song and the power of love and hope that by downloading it you can help to raise funds for this cause.

We All Need Love

We all need love, to see us through, people need people, like I need you

Across the sea, all over the land, together we need to make a stand

To care and share, to give not take, to help each other, mend not break

Lend a hand when things go wrong, alone we’re weak, together we’re strong

Any colour or race, together we stand, with all our children holding hands

Like brother and sister, mother and child, we all need love, we all need love

If everyone gave all their heart, it’s not hard to play your part

Wars could end and peace may come

There would not be greed, this world would be one

Any colour or race, together we stand, with all our children holding hands

Like brother and sister, mother and child, we all need love, we all need love

Any colour or race, together we stand, with all our children holding hands

Like brother and sister, mother and child,

We all need love, we all need love

We all need love, we all need love,

We all need love, we all need love, we all need love, everybody needs love

We all need love, we all need love, we all need love, everybody needs love

We all need love, we all need love, we all need love, everybody needs love

Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians across the country, causing millions to flee. Homes have been destroyed. Essential services have been hit. Families have been separated. People have been injured. Lives have been lost.

DEC charities are supporting the local aid effort to provide cash assistance, food, healthcare, clean water, shelter, protection, and so much more.

DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care.
