The song "Crying Out For Love" by Richie Spice talks about the hardships faced by children who need love, protection, education, and guidance. The lyrics begin with the singer acknowledging the cries of children who are in need of love that only a mother can provide. They are also crying out for proper education and a safe shelter from the storm. The chorus emphasizes that all children in the world are crying out for love and need it desperately.
In the following verse, the singer describes how some children have to spend their daily lives on the streets because their parents cannot afford proper education. They need to learn the golden rule of life, which is not taught on the streets. The third verse talks about how some children need a guiding star, a strong support system, and some personal attention. They cannot face the challenges of life alone, and they need someone who they can trust.
The final verse emphasizes the need for gifts, love, and proper nourishment for every child in the world. The change in the world only comes when the roots of education and truth are taught to youth. The song highlights the fact that children are the future and should be given the love and protection that they deserve.

It was my first time going for a Richie concert and I was beyond happy. I became so emotional when he made his appearance because he entered the stage with this song, my best song! It was the perfect day. Jah poured down rain towards the end of the concert and most of us danced in the rain until it stopped and he bowed and left. Bless you Richie. Love from Kenya
