Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

We Are the People

If you're feeling shut down

May my thoughts be with you

If you're a black man bein' beat down

And shoved all around

May my thoughts be with you

If your world's getting' a little too tough

You know, our thoughts bein' with you

Hey, I know, that it's crazy out there

And my thoughts are with you

We are the people

And we live forever

We are the people

And our future is written in the wind

On the wind

If you are one of the homeless

May my thoughts be with you

If you are scared and alone

You know, our thoughts are with you

If you are one of the fortunate ones

We all know, it's lonely up there

We understand, that nobody's got it made

So our thoughts are with you

We are the people

And we live forever

We are the people

And our future is written in the wind

On the wind

You see yourself as a leader

May my thoughts be with you.

If you try to divide and conquer

We'll rise up against you

We know, only the strong will survive

But the meek will inherit

So if you got a coat of arms

Oh friend

I suggest, we wear it

We are the people

And we live forever

We are the people

And our future is written in the wind

On the wind
