THERE ARE PEOPLE

There are people

There are people on the streets.

There is someone in there care.

Some people will never forget that you weren't there,

But will never remember when you are.

There are people that will crawl in the dirt.

Some people will fly high in the sky.

There are people that will give everything they've got.

I've seen people that don't even try.

There are people in front of me.

I see people coming up from the back.

Some people can say things without speaking,

And others are just yak, yak, yak.

There are people with hair that's long and flows.

I know some people with no hair and their heads shaved clean.

Some people will live their dreams to the fullest,

And others will only dream.

There are people that will always float,

And others that will always sink.

Some people will always smell good,

And some that will always stink.

There are people on the outside waiting to get in.

Some are on the inside, and that's where they've always been.

There are people locked up on the inside that want to be free.

Some are on the outside that shouldn't be around you and me.

There are people standing on my left,

Some are standing on my right.

There are people that want to give you lovin',

And some people just want to fight.

There are people that live in the dark.

Some people hide in the shadows of the light.

There are people that want to steal your soul,

And some just want to hold you tight.

Some people are hanging high, while some are lying low.

Some people want to tell you where you should go.

There are people on top; there are people right below,

And they're all feeling down and moving slow.

There are people that are cold.

I've seen people that were hot.

If you put them all together,

They all want what you've got.

I've seen people that are dry.

I've seen people that are wet.

I've seen people that will remember,

And I've seen people that will forget.

There are people down below.

There are people up above.

There are people that I just can't stand,

And some that I will always love.
