People Are Changing Songtext
von Herbie Hancock

People are changing (changing)
People are changing
Whole world is changing
People are changing

Ooh, people are changing
I said people, people are changing
This whole world, this whole world is changing
How do I know? Let me tell you so

Here′s an example
Take the time
When it used to be man to boy
Take the time that we all had to go
From the front and to the back
There's more love for your fellow man
Thousands of people, oh, joining hands

Oh, people are changing
I said people, people are changing
This whole world is changing
How do I know? Let me tell you so


One more example
Take the time
When we were afraid, y′all, to even talk
White, black, red, and yellow never could walk
Walk side by side
There's more love for your fellow man
Thousands of people, oh, joining hands

People, everybody's changing
People are changing
I said people, people are changing
This whole world, this whole world is changing
(This whole world)
How do I know? Let me tell you so

Young people, dig this
Take the time
When everyone look down on you, I′m dignified
Can′t fake it, you do what you do
No way must always turn it down

There's more love for your fellow man
Thousands of people, oh, joining hands

People, everybody′s changing
People are changing
I said people, people are changing
This whole world is changing
How do I know? Let me tell you so

One more example


People are changing
Whoo-hoo-hoo
People are changing, oh-oh-oh
People are changing
Changing, changing, changing
People are changing
Changing, oh-oh

Oh, people are changing
I said people, people are changing
This whole world is changing
How do I know? Let me tell you so

One more example
Take the time
When we had to let some know the trail today
Don't you know people came, huh
From far and near
You know why they came?

There′s more love for your fellow man
Thousands of people, oh-whoa, joining hands

People are changing
Don't you know they′re changing?
This whole world is changing
How do I know? Let me tell you so

People are changing
Hey-oh, changing, changing
The whole world is changing (this whole world)
How do I know? Oh-whoa
When you saw (and if you saw)
They're changing
They're changing, they′re changing, they′re changing, yeah
They're changing
How do I know? Listen, I′m telling you so

People, they're changing
People are changing
