People - Oscar Peterson Trio

People Lyrics

People doing better, people needing more
People writing letters, people get ignored
People saving money and people saving face
People going hungry, people waste away
Needing one reason to live in a world
Where nothing is worthwhile 'til it's gone
You spend your life moving on
Well, people wearing nothing, people wearing out
And people scared of something, and people live in doubt
Now people going places and people running home
And those who know what grace is, people disowned
Needing one reason to live in a world
Where nothing is worthwhile 'til it's gone
You spend your life moving on
Give me one reason to care anymore
'Cause there has got to be a better way
A road that leads to better days
In the back of minds and corners of our eyes

It'll lie the reason we're alive
And I will love you back
I'll love you back
One reason to live in a world
Where nothing is worthwhile 'til it's gone
You spend your life moving on
Give me one reason to care anymore
'Cause there has got to be a better way
A road that leads to better days
