I could tell you a story of shame
I could talk for hours on how we became
A flower that bloomed in one day
The next day our glory faded awayDivided by hostilities
Hung up on issues, we disagreed
A body that's been torn apart
We're still a body with a healthy heartPeople like me, persons like you
We wanna be closer to God
Closer to free
All you people like meWhat do you think when you see
Continuous losers, the people like me?
I hope you never believe
Just for a moment you're better than meThe truth is that we are the same
All different people but only one name
I hope that you will agree
That all of you are people like mePeople like me, persons like you
We wanna be closer to God
Closer to free
All you people like meI can't stand by myself anymore
I forgot what we're fightin' for
Please come take my hand
We will make our stand
Feels so good to me, be so freePeople like me, persons like you
We wanna be closer to God
Closer to free
All you people like meThe truth is that we are the same
All different people but only one name
I hope that you will agree
That all of you are people like me
