People Come On

The world has changed, more than some

 There's darkness surrounding the sun

 And you have given all you have

 They've taken the best that you've done

 Wake up, wake up, open your eyes

 Your ears and your hands and your throats and your mouths

 We are the more not the few

 Thoughts are not facts and the news isn't news

 The walls close in as each new day begins

 Clouds linger all day

 People come on

 Words are words, whatever is said

 People go back to your bed

 But oh, my sweet-hearted world

 Little streams, little hands, little smiles, little curls

 Time for sleeping is past

 Just give us a chance

 People come on
