Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People
We're only people
There's not much anyone can do
Really do about that
But it hasn't stopped us yet
[Verse 2]
People
We know so little about ourselves
But just enough to wanna be
Nearly anybody else
Now how does that add up
[Verse 3]
Oh, friends, all my friends
Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling
Just know I think about you
More kindly than you and I have ever been
And I'll see you the next time 'round the bend
[Verse 4]
People
What's the deal
You've been hurt
And I've been hurt
But what do we do now
[Verse 5]
People
We're only people
There ain't a thing one person
Can ever change about that
[Verse 6]
Oh, friends, all my friends
Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling
Just know I think about you
More kindly than you and I have ever been
And I'll see you the next time 'round the bend
[Verse 7]
I think the end of it all
May look a lot like the beginning
But passed around from hand to hand
Screaming for no particular reason
[Verse 8]
The company gets pretty thin
So we start to shed all our distinctions
So why not me
Why not you
Why not now
