SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE

STOP, WAIT, THINK ABOUT IT
THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE
WE MEET THEM EVERYDAY

WHEN YOU HOLD OUT YOUR HAND
SOPT AND JUST SMILE AND AFTER A WHILE
YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND

TELL ME WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
WE?RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS
WHEN I FEEL YOUR KINDNESS, I FEEL YOUR COMPASSION
AND IT MAKES MY HEART SING

STOP, WAIT, THINK ABOUT IT
THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE
WE MEET THEM EVERYDAY
PEOPLE REMEMBER WE?RE IN THIS TOGETHER
IN EVERY WAY


IF IT TAKES A VILLAGE
THEN THE WORLD IS OUR TOWN
LOOKIN OUT FOR EACH OTHER, ONE FOR ANOTHER
EVERYONE?S GOT TO BE FOUND

WELL I?VE BEEN SURROUNDED
ALL OF MY LIFE
BY PEOPLE WHO CARE, PEOPLE WHO SHARE
SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE


IF I LOOK AT THE TROUBLE
EVERY NIGHT ON TV
I MIGHT LOSE HOPE, I MIGHT LOSE FAITHE
WELL I?VE NEVER WANTED TO FEEL THAT WAY
PEOPLE WHO CARE
PEOPLE LET?S SHARE
PEOPLE LET?S LOVE
LET?S LOVE
