Verse 1:
Well, it happened just this morning
I was walking down the street
The milkman and the postman
And policeman I did meet

There in every window
And every single door
I recognized people
I never noticed before

Chorus:
Up, up with people
You meet 'em wherever you go
Up, up with people
They're the best kind of folks to know

If more people were for people
All people, everywhere
There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot more people who care.

There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot more people who care.

Verse 2:

People from the Southland
And people from the North,
Like a mighty army,
I saw them coming forth.

It was a great reunion,
Befitting for a king,
That's when I recognized people
Are more important than things.

Verse 3:

Inside everybody
There's some bad, and there's some good
But don't let anybody
Start attacking peoplehood

Love them as they are
But fight for them to be
Great men & great women
As God meant them to be

Chorus
