My People
James Hersey Lyrics

People call, but I wait for my honey
Despite receiving calls from other people, I patiently wait for my loved one.

Waiting here for you
I am anticipating the arrival of my loved one and patiently waiting for them.

Others chose to stay in a tiny cage
Not all individuals choose to explore beyond their comfort zone.

Not my people, not you
I surround myself with people who are not afraid to take risks and step out of their comfort zones.

So won't you stay? We could figure it out
Let us work together to find a solution to our problems.

Find our hope, maybe lose our doubt
Together, we can find a way to remain optimistic and eliminate our doubts.

And you should know, whatever I do
No matter what I do, I want you to remember that I care for you.

When distance calls, I'll be singing for you
Even when we are far apart, I will always be singing for you.

(Singing) my people, oh, my people
My people, including my loved one, hold a special place in my heart.

Nothing compares to the soul of my people
The unique qualities, attitudes and values of the people I surround myself with are irreplaceable.

Good people like you, good people like
Individuals like you, with good hearts and intentions, are those that I treasure in my life.

I tried to find my place out there
I tried to find where I fit in the world beyond my comfort zone.

To start with something new
I was in search of something new.

To escape from all that I knew
I wanted to leave behind what was familiar to me.

I had to find a way to make peace out there
I sought to find serenity and peacefulness in the outside world.

To try to grow up alone
I wanted to learn and mature on my own.

But it never felt like home
Despite my best efforts, I never felt truly comfortable outside my natural environment.

Without my people, oh, my people
Without my close associates, my life feels incomplete and lacking.

Good people say I
Individuals with good intentions and values can affirm that I am on the right track.

I found a place I love, I found a place I love
I have found a place I feel content and happy in.

Yeah, there's something about it
This new place has a quality that makes it special to me.

That's keeping me honest
This new location is helping me stay true to myself.

Been living with a cold heart
I used to be more emotionally distant.

Now I'm moving through the darkness now
I feel like I am making progress despite initial challenges.

But I'm just getting started
I have a long way to go and much progress to make.

Mmm, and me
I am part of the good people that make up my community and life.
