Song of the Week: Patti Labelle


Oh, People

[Andy Goldmark; Bruce Roberts]

If we are one big happy family,
no one would have to beg to eat.
If we live in a world of dignity,
no man would have to live on the street.
If I tell you you're a part of me,
there's no need for disbelief.
Here is my hand,
to let you know that what we dream we
all can hold.
Apart we are weak together we're strong.


Oh, people we are 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 will know
all that we dream will be our own.
Apart we are weak together we're strong.

Oh, people we are 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 sides to take
If we can change the course we’re on
There is a future at stake
There’s room for us all

Oh, people we are writing this song.
We're all living these words together forever.
There's no reason … oh no …. We can't live and be one

[Ad lib to fade …]
