Hug It On (2026) by Gloria Buono-Daly
[Verse 1]
Shrug off drama, shrug off scene
Cold words just falling in between
Hallway echoes, voices fly
Walking on eggshells, wondering why
Faces turning, looking gone
One small hug keeps moving us on
Lost inside the noise we hear
But love still whispers through the fear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When the world pulls us apart
One kind touch can change a heart...
[Chorus 1]
Hold on when hope feels gone
Never shrug yourself away
In a world so quick to shove
A hug is stronger than a shrug
Hug it on
Ooooo…
[Post-Chorus]
Hug it on
Ooooo…
[Verse 2]
Rain keeps falling through the night
Love becomes my guiding light
Some walk past and some still care
Healing’s happening everywhere
Every scar becomes a song
Love keeps teaching us we’re strong
Through the hurt and through the noise
Love still lifts a quiet voice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When the world pulls us apart
One kind touch can change a heart...
[Chorus 2]
Even when the road feels wrong
Love still sings its sacred song
Shrug off fear, shrug off shame
A hug can restart a heart
A hug is stronger than a shrug
Hug it on
Ooooo....
[Post-Chorus]
Hug it on
Ooooo…
[Bridge]
Some hold pain, some hold love
Raindrops fill the night
Open arms and voices blend
Love keeps bringing us back again
When hope gets hard,
Love still finds a way
Open arms and voices blend
Where hugs lead, songs ascend...
Through every storm…
Love finds a way...
[Final Chorus]
Never shrug off love inside
That’s the place we learn to fly...
When the world is torn apart
Love can mend a broken heart
A hug is stronger than a shrug
Hug it on
Ooooo...
A hug is stronger than a shrug
Hug it on
Oooo...
[Outro]
Hug it on…
Hug it on…
Ooooo…
Hug it on…
Hug it on…
