My People Lyrics – Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens

My People
When you gonna leave
My People?
Give them room to breath
My People?
Stop oppressing
My People?
All they want is bread, clothes
Space to rest – and left alone
My People:
When you gonna free
My People?

Let them live in peace
Stop killing
My People?
All they need is dignity
A chance to be free
My People
Stop making scared
My People
Let them out of jail
My People
Stop building walls around
My People
When you gonna show you care
Join the people in the square
My People

My People
See them coming now
My People
Can’t you hear them shout?
My People
Everyday, everywhere
Stop running from
My People
Stop stealing from
My People
Stop pointing guns at
My People
Oh, Come on
My People
Come on, come on
My People
Come on, come on
My People
God show them the way
My People
God show them the way
My People
See them pray
My People
Come on, come on
My People
Oh,
My People
Come on
My People
Keep on keeping on
