We Are the People

If you're feelin' shut down May my thoughts be with you If you're a black man bein' beat down and shoved all around May my thoughts be with you If your world's gettin' a little too tough You know our thoughts are with you Hey, I know that it's crazy out there And my thoughts are with you We are the people And we live forever We are the people And our future's written on the wind On the wind If you are one of the homeless May our thoughts be with you If you are scared and alone You know our thoughts are with you If you are one of the fortunate ones We all know it's lonely up there We understand that nobody's got it made So our thoughts are with you We are the people, oh yeah And we live forever We are the people And our future's written on the wind On the wind You see yourself as a leader May my thoughts be with you If you try to divide and conquer We'll rise up against you We know only the strong will survive But the meek will inherit So if you've got a coat of arms, oh friend I suggest we wear it We are the people And we live forever We are the people Oh, and our future's written on the wind On the wind
