Sir Ed has released the track in association with Bath Philharmonia's Young Carers' Choir, with the release set to celebrate the work of young carers.

The Liberal Democrat leader, who himself was a young carer for his mother, is looking to raise money for charity with a song written by six young carers.

Celebrating the bond they have with the people they care for, the single was launched on Thursday for the first time.

Sir Ed added: "With the wonderful Bath Philharmonia, they have created something that I'm sure will strike a chord not only with other young carers - often invisible in our communities - but also with all carers and families.

"I hope people listen to this song and download it and are as impressed as I am by the amazing talent of these young carers.

"I hope people take some time this Christmas to think about this amazing group of people who look after their loved ones from such an early age. This time of year is tough for all carers, particularly young ones - let's put them in the spotlight."

Entitled "Love is Enough", the tinsel-filled video sees a guest appearance from Davey as he dons a christmas jumper alongside carers past and present.

Written by six young carers and former young carers, the track is a "tribute to the caring responsibilities of young carers and the bond they share with the people they care for".

The Lib Dem leader said that money raised from downloads and streams of the charity single will go to the Carers Trust and Bath Philharmonia.

Full lyrics:

When we’re brought into this world, we only have each other

Every second we have left is worth a thousand others

A house isn’t a home until we learn to love each other

It’s not about what we have left, it’s who we are that matters

Through the burdens and the chaos

We’re trying again

We’ll hold you and guide you and lead you through

Believing and dreaming and pushing through

Coz love’s so much more than a game for two

It’s raising us up so that we are one

And in the end when the race is run

You’ll learn to see

Love is enough

At times when we get low

And the fog cannot be lifted

We’re reminded of a time when we felt so connected

In challenges we face

We are bound by endless grace

In the hardships we grow, you must know

Through the burdens and the chaos

We’re trying again

We’ll hold you and guide you and lead you through

Believing and dreaming and pushing through

Coz love’s so much more than a game for two

It’s raising us up so that we are one

And in the end when the race is run

You’ll learn to see

Through ebbs and flows, forgiveness grows

In collective harmony

Held together we stand

Walking hand in hand

Through ebbs and flows, forgiveness grows

In collective harmony

Held together we stand

Walking hand in hand

Believing and dreaming and pushing through

Coz love’s so much more than a game for two

It’s raising us up so that we are one

And in the end when the race is run

You’ll learn to see [Love is enough]

Believing and dreaming and pushing through [Love is enough]

Coz love’s so much more than a game for two [Love is enough]

It’s raising us up so that we are one [Love is enough]

And in the end when the race is won

You’ll learn to see

You’ll learn to see

You’ll learn to see

Love is enough
