Say little people, try to put you down
What you need, is a helpin' hand
All the strength, at your command
How's ya faith? 'Cause ya faith is you
Who you kiddin', to yourself be true
Spread ya love, for a brighter day
Oh yes sir
Oh yes sir
We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our heart lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from
Eagle flies, every seven days
Still cryin the blues, all about ya pay
What ya gonna do? 'Bout your living thang
Will ya make it better, or just complain
Everyday is real, don't run from fear
'Cause better days are very near
There are times when you're bound to cry
One more time, head to the sky
Oh yes sir
Oh yes sir
We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our heart lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from

Mighty people of the sun

To the truth you can't run from
We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our heart lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from

The chorus emphasizes that we are all powerful people, and the answers to life's problems can be found within ourselves. The repetition of "oh yes sir" in the verse and the chorus reinforces this message of strength and empowerment.
The second verse uses the metaphor of an eagle flying every seven days while still feeling the pain of everyday life to highlight the struggle of living day-to-day.
