Oh people lyrics
by Patti LaBelle



If we are one big family
No-one will 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 disbelieve

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

Ohoho, people
We're all writing this song
We're all living 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

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'll know
All that we dream will be our own
Apart we are weak
Together we're strong

Ohoho, people
We're all writing this song
We're all living 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 such to take
If we can change the course we're on
There is no future at stake
There's room for us all

Oh, people
We're all writing this song
We're all living these words together forever

There's no reason, oh no
We can't live and be one

Oh, people, people
We should ride it together
Yes, I want you to think, think, think
Oh, people, people, people

Oh, think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities that will be there for you and me

Oh, people
No-one should ever beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity
You want no-one, no-one here on the street

Oh, there is room for us all
Oho, it's a big world
We should live together!
