People Are People

People are people wherever you go
Drying in the desert or slushing through the snow
Waiting by the water or high up in the hills
We want to work an honest day, earn some money, pay the bills

People are people everywhere
We want clean food water and air
People are people across the globe
We want a safe place where our kids can grow

People are people the whole world over
We’re gonna live and love and laugh till it’s over
We don’t want to get trapped by a corporate scheme
We want to celebrate we want to dream

People want a family whoever that might be
Freedom to respect the flag or to take a knee
Some way to keep a decent roof above the kitchen table
A society that cares for the infirm and unable

People don’t want to be exploited
Trafficked exiled or deported
Homes abandoned or destroyed
No one wants to be afraid
Children crying lost forsaken
Their whole future has been taken
How can we achieve world peace
Until we care for all that lives
Every person, every creature
No more killing no more slaughter

People are people the whole world over
We’re gonna live in peace now shoulder to shoulder
We don’t want to get robbed by a government or a gang
Divided we fall united we stand

People want a family whoever that might be
Freedom to respect the flag or to take a knee
Some way to keep a decent roof above the kitchen table
A society that cares for the infirm and unable

People are people the whole world over
We’re gonna live in peace now shoulder to shoulder
We don’t want to get robbed by a government or a gang
Divided we fall united we stand

People are people the whole world over
We’re gonna live and love and laugh till it’s over
We don’t wanna get trapped in a corporate scheme
We’re gonna celebrate we’re gonna dream
