People Gonna Talk

People gonna talk at you like crazy

People gonna tell you where you’re wrong

People gonna sit back and whisper from the wings

They’ll swear you’ll learn your lesson later on

Right now you are just a small town seed

There’s no telling which way you’ll grow

But that won’t stop them from speaking in your sunshine

You’ve gotta learn how to listen

And then how to let go

Because one day

They’re all gonna say

How free you seem

Watching you live your dream

There ain’t no race to watch it all fall In place

Just cut out the noise

Let em’ hear your voice

Because you know it’s truth

Keep on shining through

And one day people gonna talk about you

People gonna talk themselves in circles

Busy trying to remember

Because you’ve got a fire that’s still blazing bright

And they can only feel the bite of their burning embers

But it’s no one’s fault how they turned out

Knotted trees still spread out strong

But you are here for a reason

Through untold generations

Who have learned how to listen

And then just held on

Because one day

They’re all gonna say

How free you seem

Watching you live your dream

There ain’t no race to watch it all fall In place

Just cut out the noise

Let em’ hear your voice

Because you know it’s truth

Keep on shining through

And one day people gonna talk about you

It’s just one page ripped out from the binding

It’s just one line from someone else’s song

It’s just a drop in a big wide ocean

The waves are high

But the wind’s just right

I think it’s your time to sail on

Because you know what to do

Keep on shining through

And one day people gonna talk about you
