People Make the World

We make the world, and there we live

By what we gather, and what we give

Our daily deeds, and the things we do and say

By what we keep, oh yeah, and what we cast away

People make the world what it is, uh-huh

By how they live, and what they give

People make the world what it is, oh Lord

We make the world, and there, yeah, yeah, we live

We make the world, and the lives we lead

By the friends we have, and the books we read

By the pity we show, ha ha, in an hour of care

By the laws we live, and the love we share

People make the world what it is, I'm tellin' y'all now

By how they live, and what they give

Ow, people make the world what it is, oh Lord

How they give, and how they live

People make the world
