Oh, People Songtext
von Patti LaBelle

Ooh (oh-oh)
Ooh (oh-oh)

If we are one big family, no one would have to beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity, no man will have to live on the street
If I tell you, "You′re a part of me"
There's no need for disbelief

Here′s my hand to let you know
That what we dream we all can hold
Apart we are weak
Together we're strong

Oh, oh-oh, people
We're all writin′ this song
We′re all livin' these words together, forever
There′s no reason (mm-mm) we can't live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me, we′ll live on


Think of all the possibilities
That the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities
That float right by you and me

Take my hand and we will know
All that we dream will be our own
Apart we are weak
Together we're strong

Oh, oh-oh, people
We′re all writin' this song
We're all livin′ these words together, forever
There′s no reason we can't live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me, we′ll live on

There will be no sides to take
If we can't change the course we′re on
There is the future at stake
There's room for us all


Oh, people
We′re all writin' this song
We're all livin′ these words together, forever
There′s no reason (oh, no) we can't live and be one (oh, oh)
And so, people, people, people
Ooh, we should write it together
Yes, I want you to think, think, think, oh, people, people, people

Oh, I said to you, I said
"Think of all the possibilities
That the eyes of a child can see, uh
Think of all the opportunities
That float right by you and me"

Oh, people
Why should we beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity?
You know what?
No one, no one should live on the street
Oh, there′s a room for us all, oh, it's a big world
We should live together
