Lyrics
[verse]
I don't understand why we can't get along
Same blood running through us, singing the same song
Somebody drew a line and told us where to stand
But I don't see the reason, I don't understand
[chorus]
People are people, we're built from the same clay
Different names, different faces, same old game we play
Tell me why the hatred, tell me why the fight
When we're all just walking through the same long night
[verse]
They taught us all the reasons to keep our distance wide
Handed down the borders, handed down the pride
But strip away the labels and look me in the eye
You're no different than me underneath the sky
[chorus]
People are people, we're built from the same clay
Different names, different faces, same old game we play
Tell me why the hatred, tell me why the fight
When we're all just walking through the same long night
[bridge]
I can't see the difference that they want me to see
I can't feel the anger that they want from me
Maybe it's simple, maybe it's this plain
We're all just people, feeling the same rain
[chorus]
People are people, we're built from the same clay
Different names, different faces, same old game we play
Tell me why the hatred, tell me why the fight
When we're all just walking through the same long night
