My People
Dan Darrah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask if you're sad, ask if your days aren't blue
Ask what your name is and they'll tell the truth
Ask of the world, ask for your dreams to come true
Ask for forgiveness, and ask for the truth
We all wander all around on this great big rock
We all ponder, why our lives are not what we hoped
We ought to find some peace in the day that exists
And always, see the ones all around

All of My People, you mean the world to me
I can't share a laugh, a cry, a kiss goodnight with nobody there
So here's to all you, I love you more than you know
You're my breath, my way, my friends today so thanks all of you people I love

We all sing songs, we all shed tears, we all have laughter and we all have fear
But just look around, I tell you I see the love, some have gone away, some are above
Because it's people who've made my life such a blast, all of my people, I thank you
I thank all of you this evening. And some say, that loves a cliché but I know it exists in all of my

All of My People, you mean the world to me
I can't share a laugh, a cry, a kiss goodnight with nobody there
So here's to all you, I love you more than you know
You're my breath, my way, my friends today so thanks all of you people I love

Now I've heard about that lucky ole sun, just sitting up there by himself
No that's not for me, because to me he's all alone, by himself, no one to call him on the phone
By himself, no one to smile or say hello, by himself no one to greet him at his home
No one

All of My People, you mean the world to me
I can't share a laugh, a cry, a kiss goodnight with nobody there




So here's to all you, I love you more than you know
You're my breath, my way, my friends today so thanks all of you people I love
