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
