People Make the World a Better Place
Oh, oh, I wonder why
Why do we live in hate?
Steppin' on our own true pride without a warning
And then turn and walk away
When people can make the world a better place for us to live in
When people can make the world a better place to live in
Ooh-hoo-hoo, mmm, whoa whoa ho
Turn on, life might break down
To a shadow on this cold black earth (Cold black earth)
Even though, even though it hurts
You must give yourself a right to hope for a better day
Instead of worrying yourself sick over things people say and do
You should try to understand life as you see fit
Then the world would be a better place
Then the world would be a better place
Ooh, mmm, mhm, whoa whoa ho
People make the world a better place for us to live in, yeah
People, Lord, yeah, Lord, yeah yeah
Some of us, some of us won't even try
Lord'll make the world a better place
Some of us won't even try
Oh, you gotta wanna, oh, you gotta wanna...
