People On Earth

Some are always there to lend a helping hand

Some just couldn't give a damn

They bite the hand that feeds them then they yell and scream for more

I don't know what they do that for, people on Earth

come in every different color, shape and size,

some will struggle to survive

Some have lived a life of luxury and excess since their birth

so they don't know what it's worth, people on Earth

Some work very hard to live a life of ease

Some like big cars and TVs

Some believe this incarnation will bring only suffering

and some love to dance and sing, people on Earth

live in palaces, penthouses and shacks

mud huts and subdivision tracts

Some they live in mansions behind fences, guards and locks

and some just have a box, people on Earth

So alike but still so different, as far as I can see

in this whole wide world you won't find anything upon which they all agree

People on Earth

Walk right past the homeless people on the street

no their eyes will never meet

But they give selflessly to charities half a world away

They're funny that way, people on Earth

kill each other for a barren piece of land

it's so hard to understand

Some are very kind to strangers but they hurt the ones they love

I don't know what they're thinking of, people on Earth

There are architects, carpenters and kings

They can build amazing things

They've sent probes to wander Mars and men to walk upon the moon

Are they running out of room? People on Earth

There are churches, temples, mosques and synagogues

They all claim to speak for God

There are clerics, mystics, shamans, vegans, Jains and voodoo priests

it's a beehive of beliefs, people on Earth

So raise your glass to people everywhere, we're all just flesh and blood

Against all odds somehow we persevere
